Britain's Next raises profit forecast for second time in two months

LONDON (Reuters) -British fashion retailer Next raised its full-year profit guidance for the second time in two months as it reported better than expected first quarter trading.

The group, which trades from about 500 stores as well as online, said on Thursday its central guidance for pretax profit in the 2021-2022 fiscal year was now 720 million pounds ($1 billion), up from the 700 million pounds forecast in April.

That was after full price sales in the 13 weeks to May 1 fell 1.5% compared with the same period two years ago - before the COVID-19 pandemic started to disrupt trading last year.

Next's previous guidance assumed first quarter sales would tumble 10% from the same period in fiscal 2019-20. It said it had beaten this forecast by 75 million pounds.

However, the group did not raise its sales guidance for the rest of the year, which it kept at up 3% versus two years ago.

Next has shown resilience during the pandemic, benefiting from its long-established online operations.

Rivals with weaker or no online business, notably Primark, have seen far larger falls in sales. Others, such as Topshop-owner Arcadia, and Debenhams have gone out of business.

Next said first quarter retail sales from its stores were down 76% on two years ago, reflecting COVID-19 lockdowns, while online sales increased 65%.

Total full price sales in the last three weeks were up 19%, reflecting the recent easing of pandemic restrictions.

"Evidence from last year suggests that this post lockdown surge will be short lived, and we expect sales to settle back down to our guidance levels within the next few weeks," it said.

Shares in Next, up 77% over the last year, closed on Wednesday at 8,126 pence, valuing the business at 10.8 billion pounds.

German online fashion retailer Zalando (DE:ZALG) stock fell 2.2% as its third-quarter profit fell, while Next (LON:NXT) stock fell 3.2% after the British clothing retailer maintained its full-year profit guidance despite a jump in third-quarter sales.

LONDON (Reuters) - European retail stocks fell sharply on Tuesday, spooked by U.S. retailer Target Corp (NYSE:TGT) slashing its quarterly margin forecast for the second time in less than a month.

Target said it would have to offer deeper discounts and cut back on stocking discretionary items, as inflation dents spending, adding to the gloomy global consumer outlook.

Europe's retail stocks index fell to more than a one-week low and was down 2.9% at 1229 GMT.

The drop in European retail shares weighed on the broader market with the benchmark index extending losses to stand 0.7% down on the day.

With the latest data showing headline consumer price inflation running at 8.3% in the United States, 9% in Britain and 8.1% in the 19-country euro zone, the outlook for shopper spending is grim.

In Britain, retail stocks had already been marked down by industry data showing shoppers cut their spending in May by the most since the country was in a coronavirus lockdown in early 2021.

Shares in UK clothing and food retailer Marks & Spencer (OTC:MAKSY) were down 3.8%, clothing retailer Next was down 2.8%, home improvement retailer Kingfisher (LON:KGF) was down 4.2% and supermarket group Tesco (OTC:TSCDY) was down 1.4%.

Next (LON:NXT) stock rose 3.7% after the U.K. fashion retailer reported a better-than-expected uptick in revenue in the third quarter thanks to a September jump in demand for bulkier items that helped offset a slide in digital sales.

Next (LON:NXT) stock slumped over 7% after the British clothing retailer warned that it expects sales and profit to fall this year, as the post-pandemic boost from the release of pent-up demand fades. This note of caution came despite the company beating its own guidance for full-year profit after stronger-than-expected clearance sales at New Year.
