Next’s share jumped 9% on the back of the impressive Q2 21 performance. The encouraging improvement in retail sales as a result of gradually eased social restrictions in the UK alongside the continued strong momentum in online sales have led the group to finish the quarter with 18.6% sales growth vs. the same period in 2019 (vs. guidance of 3% previously).
The better-than-expected trading performance has enabled the group to raise again its FY21 guidance and to declare a special dividend.
