Read our privacy policy Next is set to reveal higher profits for the past year as investors hope the fashion chain continues to shrug off customers’ cost-of-living pressures and poor weather. Guy Lawson-Johns, equity analyst at Hargreaves Lansdown, said: “Next gave investors plenty to be happy about in their last update, with growth of 9.1% in its online channel helping sales to exceed group forecasts. “The development of Next’s Total Platform, whereby third-party brands can use its online services for themselves, should also be of interest – the operation generated gross sales of £162 million and profit for Next of £55 million in the 12 months to January 2023.”
