Fashion brand Next has continued to see sales overperform, following a boost in the aftermath of a cyber-attack at rival firm M&S.
The British retailer reported a stronger-than-expected 10.5% increase in full-price sales for its third quarter on Wednesday and raised its full year profit guidance for the fourth time in eight months.
Next is now expecting to report a pre-tax profit of just over £1.1bn at the end of January 2026.
It reported that UK sales had weakened in comparison to the "exceptional performance" seen earlier in the year after the M&S cyber-attack in April, but had been better than anticipated.
