Sunday share tips: RBS, Next
Date: Sunday 06 May 2012
Last week's update from retailer Next was solid, with a fall in sales at its high street stores offset by sales at its home shopping business. Store sales fell 3.9pc in the 13 weeks to April 28, hurt by the recent bad weather. This was slightly worse than consensus expectations. Next Directory sales were slightly better than the City had pencilled in, rising 11.4pc. So, overall, sales rose 1.4pc. It is also noteworthy that Next was up against tough comparative numbers, with last year's first-quarter sales jumping 5.2pc following a warm Easter and the build-up to the Royal Wedding. The company will need to continue to deliver to maintain this rating – whatever shocks happen to the wider economy. The retail sector has already derated over the past month. There is no doubt that Next is a well-run, quality business. But Questor feels the shares are up with events and profit should be taken as they present themselves. Questor says sell.
