Tuesday preview: Next kicks off big week for retailers
(Sharecast News) - Tuesday sees the release of a fourth-quarter trading statement from homeware and clothing retailer Next. Aarin Chiekrie, equity analyst at Hargreaves Lansdown, said: "It's been another solid year for Next, with the UK's fashion powerhouse continuing to deliver for both customers and investors in 2025. Third-quarter full-price sales growth of 10.5% was well ahead of the group's 4.5% guidance, driven by strong overseas demand. That saw full-year pre-tax profit guidance nudged higher to £1.1 billion back in October, reflecting potential growth of 12.2%.
"Investors expect to hear that overseas momentum has continued when Next releases its fourth quarter trading update next week. The group's targeting 7.0% full-price sales growth in the final quarter. But with Next being a go-to store for Christmas shoppers, alongside its track record of overdelivering, markets wouldn't be surprised to see another small upgrade to the outlook next week."
Next will be the first of the retailers to update this week, with Marks & Spencer set to release a Christmas trading update on Thursday and Sainsbury's Q3 statement due on Friday.
On the macro front, German inflation data for December is due, along with the S&P Global UK composite and services PMIs for December.
The BRC shop price index for December will also be released overnight.
