Investor expectations: Next Q1 Earnings
On Wednesday morning, many traders were looking at Next shares as they reported their first quarter results before the UK market opened.
Following an incredible few years; the UK's second largest clothing retailer saw its share price rally from a 2008 low of 780p to 3000p in April 2012, as investors bought into the Next success story.
There was however some pause-for-thought earlier this year when the retailer stated it was being cautious amidst a very uncertain outlook.
The Results: Next Q1 Earnings
The Next first quarter earnings report shows that the UK retailer's total sales had risen 1.4%, with - once again - its directory business helping to boost sales.
To further signify their success; consider that in this period, the retail sales market overall has been hit by a 3.9% fall.
Following the report, Next's share price rallied 2% to trade close at the £30 mark showing that the resilience of these reported numbers is pleasing for shareholders.
