Just got a glimpse of Stewart Rose on SKY advising staff about getting into work despite the snowbound roads! Not a word about the share response to the not so bad/good figures today. Will that come later?
edit...Has since made a couple of comments only to say they were in line with Next, no ramp on the fact that online sales were up 32%.

During 2009: Sales up 1%
Shares price up 100%
PE heading to 15

2010: Outlook pretty grim

Methinks a correction was well overdue.

[gruss] 06/1/2010 08:44

Its not the figures that has hit the share price but the outlook. Oh dear my options are only showing a profit of just under 10k now.

[manrobert] 06/1/2010 08:31

seemed pretty good figures to me and probably a good long term buying opportunity.

[dapper don] 06/1/2010 08:13

ouch City didnt like those figures much hit 3.84 im holding tight.

extracted from latest report

Next and John Lewis, a department store operator, are the first of the U.K.'s big retailers to report Christmas trading results, and the results point to a strong result for the sector as a whole. However, both warned that the outlook for 2010 is still tough due to the ongoing economic downturn and because the U.K. sales tax, or value added tax, is reverting to 17.5%, from 15%.

Next, which considers Marks & Spencer Group PLC (MKS.LN) among its main competitors, said it now expects full-year pretax profit to be between GBP490 million and GBP500 million, well above market consensus of GBP475 million according to data from FactSet and above the GBP429 million profit the company reported last year. It cited solid sales, tight control on stocks and a GBP7 million boost because this financial year will be 53 weeks long compared with 52 weeks last year.

It also increased its earnings per share guidance to 180 pence and 184 pence, up at least 15% on last year

Defying gravity today after a long sleep! Up trend intact!

Marks & Spencer is expected to report a sales increase for the Christmas period for the first time in two years when it delivers its trading update on Wednesday, the Daily Telegraph said on Monday. Sales of food and clothing are believed to has risen by 1% over the 13 weeks to 26 December, compared with a 7% decline over the same period last year, the newspaper said.
