Neilson have MARKS grocery sales rising at 9.7% which is in line but slightly under Kantar data for MARKS...



"In terms of retailer performance, Ocado led with a sales growth of 15.6% compared to the same period last year, followed by Marks & Spencer with a growth of 9.7%. M&S benefited from its larger store formats, encouraging shoppers to add more items to their baskets, as well as its dine-at-home deals."

Whatever MARKS share price fall has been an overreaction and not justified and I can see MARKS rebounding from this level.

In a boost for Marks "John Lewis misses sales targets as middle class-shoppers flock to M&S"



Seems marks is taking far more market share than some realize.

The share price has fallen far too much imo the last month and a good buy at current price.

Can any of you answer the following as I can't find the answer searching on Google or even on Gov UK.

If I buy say 1,000 shares each year for say five years but don't put any of them in an ISA and in 5+ years time I decide to sell just 1,000 of those shares so leaving 4,000. How do I work out the profit for tax purposes if the profit is over the GBP 3K CGT limit?

1. Do I first divide the total number of shares bought over the 5 years into the grand total price paid including broker fees for those 5,000 shares to get the average price per share paid for those 5,000 shares. Then multiply that average share price by the number of shares sold. Then deduct that from the total amount received through the sale to get the profit made? But what purchase date do I give on the tax return?

2. Or is the 1st example the wrong way of working out the profit for tax purposes if so do I have to sell the 1,000 shares I bought in the most recent year or those bought in the first year (Oldest purchase) and work out the average paid for that purchase only? So the average price paid is linked to the day I purchased the shares and NOT the average price of the total 5,000 shares bought over a 5 year period?

MARKS share fall is too sharp imo it's partly due to the fall in sterling and bad stock market conditions in general.

With most analysts still maintaining a share price into the £4 range I suspect some that have sold will regret their sale with a stagnant economy lots of non retail will struggle this year and MARKS middle class customers are still doing relatively well.

ASDA and Morrison customers are likely to migrate to both ALDI and LIDL.

No reason for fall in share price imo as food sales like for like up 8.9%. Clothes lower but overall MKS done very well.

It is a bad market for retail and that doesn't help but hopefully fall in share price will reverse soon.

(Alliance News) - Next PLC on Tuesday raised its annual profit guidance after better-than-expected Christmas trading, including strong overseas online growth.

The Leicester-based clothing and homewares retailer said full price sales in the nine weeks to December 28 rose 6.0% on-year. Adjusting for the effect of the end-of-season sale, which "flattered" its outturn, full price sales were up 5.7%. It had guided for growth of 3.5%.

"The over-achievement adds GBP27 million to full price sales," Next said.

It now expects pretax profit for the year to January 25 of GBP1.01 billion, a rise of 10% on-year. It had previously expected a profit rise of 9.5%. It now predicts total group sales of GBP6.30 billion, its outlook raised from GBP6.27 billion.

Shares in Next were 2.5% higher at 9,792.00 pence each in London on Tuesday morning.

UK sales for the financial year increased 2.5%, reflecting online sales growth of 5.2%, which offset a 1.1% drop in retail sales. Online overseas sales jumped just under 24%.

For the following financial year to January 2026, Next expects full price sales growth of 3.5% and pretax profit to rise 3.6% to GBP1.05 billion. Pre-tax earnings per share are projected to rise 6.7% to 900.2 pence.

"We have been cautious in our outlook for both the UK and overseas," Next added. "We believe that UK growth is likely to slow, as employer tax increases, and their potential impact on prices and employment, begin to filter through into the economy."

Next said it plans to raise prices to offset roughly GBP13 million of wage cost hikes.

"This will require an increase of around 1% in selling prices on like-for-like garments over and above any factory gate price increases. Fortunately, we are seeing 0% inflation in factory gate prices. So although we are increasing our bought-in gross margins, we still expect our prices to rise by less than the Bank of England's target for inflation of 2%," it said.

Next said cash generation in the year remains strong and it expects to generate GBP670 million of surplus cash, after deducting interest, tax, capital expenditure and funding customer receivables, but before any investments and distributions to shareholders.

Next plans to retain GBP75 million of surplus cash, reducing net debt, to contribute towards the potential repayment of a GBP250 million bond in August 2025.

I love your optimism on the share price But MKS are predominantly UK and the NI increase seems to be having a big affect on jobs and the economy.If people don't cut back next year and MKS have a great Christmas(Which I think they will) I can see the share price hitting 4.50-4.75But I hope you are right as I've been heavily invested in MKS for around 4 years.

MARKET on a low partly because of slower rate of interest rate cuts.

Conversely MARKS just short of 5 year high.

I happen to believe MARKS will have a good Christmas and we will see MKS share price hit mid £5 early next year with an increased divi to top up the good news, possibly £6 at some stage next year.

On retail news QUIZ looks bust.

Kepler Cheuvreux starts Marks & Spencer with 'buy' - price target 467 pence

Kepler Cheuvreux initiated coverage of Marks & Spencer on Tuesday with 'buy' rating and 467.0p price target.

"M&S's share price has rallied spectacularly over the past two years," it said. However, the valuation multiples have risen little relative to its peers, Kepler said.

"Benefiting from high-quality management, we believe that M&S should continue to offer positive momentum in its two businesses, enabling the steady growth that sets it apart in the UK retail sector."

Broker tips M&S shares to hit their highest level since 2015


Peel Hunt upgrades to 425p while UBS says shares could hit 435p
M&S will update investors on its first half next week amid store expansion

Broker Peel Hunt has upgraded its expectations for Marks & Spencer's shares, with analysts backing the retailer's ambitious food-only expansion plans.

M&S, which will next week update investors on its first half performance, has become Britain's fastest growing supermarket under the leadership of boss Stuart Manchin.

Machin has helped lure in shoppers despite a tough consumer backdrop as M&S has invested in larger food halls and launched new products.

It has helped drive M&S shares almost 40 per cent higher since the start of 2024. They have added more than 75 per cent over the last 12 months.

Peel Hunt on Friday hiked its M&S share price target from 360p to 425p - 12.7 per cent above their current level of 377.1p as of midmorning.

It follows another vote of confidence from analysts at UBS, which in September upgraded its M&S target share price to 435p – higher than at any point since December 2015.

M&S opened four food-only stores in the first half of the financial year, with plans to open five more in the second half and 10 more next year.

It is hoping to grow its food-only offering from 325 to 400 sites nationwide.

Peel Hunt analysts said a recent trip to M&S's new Friern Barnet store – a 18,000 square-foot site previously hosting a Furniture Village – showed the value of the retailer's recent investments.

'The maths clearly works given the immediate sales densities,' they added.

'M&S is not going mad with its opening programme, but stores like Friern Barnet show what a potent model M&S now has for new/refitted stores.

'The interims on 6 November should showcase a good, if not great 1H, but current trading is probably decent, judging by the weather. An upgrade is possible, and as the consumer starts to gain confidence, the risk profile has changed.'
