What the Analysts think about Wickes Group

Analyst projections of the future price of Wickes Group stock.
Bulls say / Bears say
Wickes grew first-half revenue by 2.1% despite price deflation, while TradePro sales rose 5% and active members increased 9% to 671,000. Those gains and further retail market-share growth point to a value offer that is winning customers. (LSE.co.uk)
Design & Installation revenue rose 5.7% in the first half, extending its run of delivered-sales growth to five consecutive quarters. Growth in Lifestyle Kitchens and Bespoke Bathrooms suggests the broader range is attracting customers even as they seek more affordable projects. (LSE.co.uk)
Retail like-for-like sales accelerated to mid-single-digit growth in Q3 so far, and Wickes remains on track for about 10% adjusted profit growth in 2026. Store expansion and productivity gains could help sustain that improvement, although delivery depends on the stronger second half materialising. (Proactive Investors, LSE.co.uk)
Retail like-for-like sales fell 0.3% in the first half and DIY sales were broadly flat, while product prices were in deflation. That leaves sales reliant on continued volume growth to offset weaker pricing and uneven demand. (LSE.co.uk)
Customers are taking longer to commit to larger projects: orders for Bespoke Kitchens declined slightly, and total Design & Installation orders by value were below the prior year despite more projects. Continued caution on big-ticket spending could limit growth in this higher-value business. (LSE.co.uk)
Adjusted first-half profit before tax rose only 1.1% to £27.6m, despite 2.1% revenue growth, as cost inflation absorbed some of the benefit. Wickes needs roughly 19% profit growth in the second half to meet the broker forecast, leaving little room for weaker trading or cost savings to disappoint. (Proactive Investors, LSE.co.uk)
