Wickes Group ( (GB:WIX) ) has provided an announcement.
Wickes reported a solid second half to 2025, with group revenue up 6.3% year-on-year to £788m and full-year revenue rising 5.9% to £1.64bn, driven primarily by volume growth despite a mildly deflationary environment. Retail revenue grew 6.2% in the second half as the company gained market share to a record level, underpinned by an 8% rise in TradePro sales and an 11% increase in active TradePro members to 643,000, while DIY sales saw mid-single digit growth. The Design & Installation division delivered a 6.9% revenue increase in the second half, supported by improved kitchen and bathroom offerings and sustained momentum in both ordered and delivered sales, marking multiple consecutive quarters of positive like-for-like growth. Wickes continued to invest in its strategic growth levers, opening five new stores during the year, completing one full refit and refreshing five more, leaving around 83% of its estate in the new format, and ended the year with net cash of £92m after completing a £20m share buyback, with average cash of £153m supported by a healthy order book. The company expects adjusted profit before tax for 2025 to be in line with market expectations, reinforcing management’s confidence in its strategy and its ability to continue supporting home improvement demand while maintaining a strong balance sheet for shareholders and other stakeholders.

Spark’s Take on GB:WIX Stock
According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, GB:WIX is a Neutral.
Wickes Group’s overall stock score is driven by strong technical momentum and positive corporate actions such as share buybacks. However, financial performance is moderate due to high leverage and inconsistent revenue growth. The valuation suggests potential overvaluation, but the dividend yield offers some compensation.
