Marks & Spencer: A Rocky Start to Fiscal 2026Despite a strong start to the year, Marks & Spencer’s momentum has been overshadowed by a major cyberattack, disrupting online operations from April through July. While their reshaping strategy continues to deliver gains in volume, market share, and profitability, the breach is expected to dent fiscal 2026 operating profit by ~£300M. An analyst warns of short-term reputational damage, and shares are down ~12% YTD. 📊 Technical View: The price remains under pressure. A weekly close below 319.20 (Jan low) would complete a sizeable double top, with a potential 100-point downside target. The 200-week moving average at 239 is our initial target. Upside resistance? The 55-week moving average at 359. Unless that’s cleared, pressure likely remains.

2 Retail Stocks to WatchMarks & Spencer (MKS) Financials: Marks & Spencer reported strong growth in both its Food and Clothing & Home businesses for the first 19 weeks of the financial year. Food sales increased by over 11%, driven by price changes, while Clothing & Home sales grew by more than 6%, primarily due to in-store growth. Despite economic uncertainties, the company expects significant improvements in full-year profit growth and half-year results compared to previous expectations of modest revenue growth. Technical View: Marks & Spencer’s share price has been locked in a powerful uptrend since the turn of the year. Recent price action has seen the shares break out from a wedge pattern and retest trend highs. We are now seeing prices consolidate at trend highs within a series of small candles. This form of high and tight consolidation signals a reluctance to pull back, which suggests that the shares are being accumulated ahead of a potential move higher. MKS Daily Candle Chart Next (NXT) Financials: Next's half-year sales grew 5.4% to £2.6 billion, benefiting from higher wages and warm weather in late spring and early summer. Pre-tax profit rose 4.8% to £419.8 million, driven by increased sales and higher full-price sales of their own-brand products. They improved free cash flow to £438.1 million and reduced net debt to £1.7 billion. Full-year profit guidance was raised to £875 million. Next completed £167 million in share buybacks, plans to spend £52 million more, and announced an interim dividend of 66p per share. Technical View Next’s uptrend is decidedly less pretty than Marks & Spencer’s, but we have seen prices carve out a rising series of higher swing lows. This has created a steepening trendline fan which suggests underlying price momentum is increasing. Recent price action has seen the shares pull back to a key area of trend support created by the broken summer swing highs. Should Next’s uptrend continue, we would expect these broken summer swing highs to provide support moving forward. NXT Daily Candle Chart Risk management It’s worth noting that despite the robust high street presence of both Marks & Spencer and Next, rising inflation may impact consumer spending. Cost-saving measures from both businesses may not fully offset increased costs, potentially leading to higher prices. Marks & Spencer are set to release half year earnings on 8th November 2023. Next are set to release Q3 earnings on 1st November 2023. Disclaimer: This is for information and learning purposes only.

MKS weekly time frame analysisMKS has created a higher low on the weekly time frame. It's a great confirmation of the uptrend after such a brutal long-term bear trend. Expecting 100 % move up on weekly so it will take some time but our target would be around 377 $. However it's not the best entry now as the stop loss would have to be placed below 90 $. So it's not a trading idea with a low risk and high reward setup. From another hand, if you believe in MKS bullish trend, it may be still a good investment for the next months .

M&S 30-40 day trade - my first published IdeaM&S Been the back bone of UK retail store fronts for a life time, has been in general decline for the last 15 years. It has many of the features of an attractive short: legacy, disrupted (not disruptive) business model shrinking revenues not much evidence of any economic/competitive moat low margin capital intensive financially geared (financial net debt £1.5 BN, excluding lease liabilities) With T/O of £10BN and £33M of profit trading on a diminishing margin year on year (half'd in last 2 years to 1.46%). Presently trading at a forward PE ratio of 10.3, which is 17th (out of 34) for its sector, so still over valued compared to it competitors. It is like an old horse, needs shooting or putting out to pasture, like many UK retail businesses it hasn't adapted to the changes in the high street. Reason for Idea Each year for the last 2 years the share price has dropped 2017 9%, 2018 8% over November December due to poor Christmas trading figures. There is no reason to not expect the same this year and added on top the increasingly worse trading statements each year. My trade was: Entry 190p Limit 160 (15%) SL 210 (10%, which the share price hasn't hit since July 2019.)
