First-quarter full-price sales rose 11.4% year-on-year, enabling Next to raise its full-year pretax profit forecast to £1.08 billion for the fiscal year ending January 2026.
In the second quarter, full-price sales climbed 10.5%, beating the 6.5% guidance and leading to a third upgrade of the full-year profit forecast to £1.105 billion, showing Next’s continuing ability to take market share from troubled competitors.
Next reported a 13.8% increase in first-half pretax profit to £515 million and reiterated its full-year profit guidance of £1.105 billion, demonstrating strong operational performance despite macroeconomic uncertainty.
Next expects second-half full-price sales growth to slow to 4.5% from 10.5% in Q2, citing a weakening UK economy and employer tax increases implemented in April.
Management cautioned that the strong first-quarter sales were likely due to unseasonably warm weather, pulling forward demand, and thus did not raise the full-year sales guidance, signaling concerns over the sustainability of recent momentum.
CEO Simon Wolfson warned that the medium- to long-term outlook for the UK economy 'does not look favourable', highlighting declining job opportunities, excessive regulation, and rising taxes as continuing risks for consumer spending.
