Fantastic company that is well set for the long term.At end of day broker forecasts don't matter over the long term.Bought these many years ago at less than £9 per share.My best investment by far and will continue to hold. It what the company does that matters not what some brokers forecast is.

European rivals will outstrip UK high street giants, warns Moody's

Moody's has warned that British retailers will be outstripped by their European rivals next year as disposable incomes are squeezed by slowing wage growth and a return of inflation.

Despite robust retail sales growth this year the credit rating agency has warned it expects high street bellwethers Next and Marks & Spencer to suffer from “anaemic growth or even a contraction of earnings” next year.

Analysts at the credit rating agency predict these retailers will “continue to face a challenge to retain their market shares and maintain profitability levels against the combined onslaught of a broad range of competitors, including value-focused Primark, international fast fashion retailers like H&M and Zara, relatively new but rapidly growing names such as Superdry and online specialists Asos, Boohoo and Missguided.”

In its study of European retailers, seen by The Daily Telegraph, only the UK retail names are listed as losers for next year. Debenhams, House of Fraser, B&Q owner Kingfisher, Marks & Spencer, New Look and Next are all predicted to have negative earnings.
