Next plc (GB0032089863) stock is in view as investors weigh the latest reported figures and the next update on the UK retailer. The stock was last quoted at GBP 123.60, with the latest Reuters market snapshot for FTSE names showing the index at 10,831.09 on September 5, 2026.
Market level and timing
Reuters showed the FTSE 100 at 10,831.09 and the Euro STOXX 50 at 6,392.93 on September 5, 2026, a reminder that UK retail shares are trading against a mixed broader market backdrop. That matters for Next plc stock because the valuation call now depends on how far the company can keep earnings ahead of the market mood.
For the most recent operating context, Next reported revenue of GBP 6.36 billion in fiscal 2025, up 7.1 percent year on year, and pretax profit of GBP 1.01 billion, up 9.4 percent. Online sales rose 8.5 percent to GBP 3.20 billion, while UK Retail sales increased 5.8 percent to GBP 2.32 billion.
Growth still drives the case
The comparison is clear: revenue rose by GBP 420 million from fiscal 2024 to fiscal 2025, and pretax profit added about GBP 87 million over the same period. That combination keeps the focus on margin discipline rather than on sales growth alone.
Next also said full-price sales for fiscal 2026 were expected to rise 5 percent, with total group sales guided higher by 6.3 percent and pretax profit forecast at GBP 1.06 billion. For investors, that guidance matters more than a one-day price move.
Next plc investor update and filings
The latest company numbers and shareholder materials are the cleanest way to track margin, sales and guidance for the retailer.
Directory trade is still key
Next remains a retailer first and a data point second: clothing, homeware and online fulfillment are the business mix that drives the numbers behind the stock. The latest fiscal 2025 split shows why digital sales and store sales have to be read together.
Stock level and setup
At GBP 123.60 as of September 5, 2026, Next plc stock is priced alongside a company that produced GBP 1.01 billion in pretax profit in fiscal 2025 and is guiding to GBP 1.06 billion in fiscal 2026. The share is also being judged against the FTSE 100 at 10,831.09, which shapes how much room investors are willing to pay for steady execution.
