Bulls say / Bears say

Next has lifted its full-year pretax profit forecast by £25 million to £1.105 billion for the year ending January 2026, after a 10.5% increase in Q2 full-price sales, indicating strong demand even as UK consumers face difficulties.
International revenue surged 26.4% in the second quarter to July 26, 2025, thanks to effective digital marketing and a growing global online platform, reducing dependence on the UK market.
Management plans to grow physical retail space by 0.4% in the year ending January 2026 with ten new stores and six relocations, the first expansion in more than five years, reflecting confidence in the company's sustainable omnichannel strategy.
Next expects a 0.3% decline in store sales for FY 2025/26, reflecting persistent difficulties for its physical retail business despite online gains.
The company forecasts just 4.3% growth in UK online sales and 2.3% total UK sales for the year to January 2026, pointing to limited growth potential in its main market.
Next’s latest profit upgrade was partly the result of competitor Marks & Spencer suffering a cyberattack and the benefits of abnormally warm weather, raising concerns about the sustainability of these gains if such one-off events do not recur.
