Currys shares rose by more than 8% to 135.5p today after the electronics retailer upgraded its profit outlook above market expectations.
The FTSE 250 group’s like-for-like revenue growth accelerated to 6% over the 10 weeks to 10th January, with UK & Ireland up 3% and the Nordics up 12%, which it described as a standout performance.
The London-based retail giant said it is gaining market share in the UK & Ireland, supported by strong mobile sales alongside growth in computing and appliances, with omnichannel sales rising 11% year-on-year.
Off the back of the performance, it now expects group adjusted profit before tax of £180m-£190m, representing 11% to 17% year-on-year growth and ahead of consensus expectations.
