Wickes Group ( (GB:WIX) ) has provided an update.

Wickes reported group revenue of £537m for the 17 weeks to 25 April 2026, up 1.3%, as strong Design & Installation growth and a 4% rise in TradePro sales offset weaker weather-affected outdoor DIY demand. Retail revenue was broadly flat, but the group continued to gain market share in categories such as interior paint, tiling, flooring and timber, supported by deflationary pricing and rising active TradePro membership.

Design & Installation ranges delivered 6.4% revenue growth, with sustained momentum in bathrooms and Lifestyle Kitchens, although higher-value Bespoke Kitchen orders softened as customers became more cautious on spending. Wickes is accelerating its store rollout towards a 300-site target, planning up to five new openings and up to 20 refits this year, and said its value-led model, productivity plans and lower business rates leave it confident in meeting 2026 profit expectations despite an uncertain market backdrop.

The most recent analyst rating on (GB:WIX) stock is a Hold with a £215.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Wickes Group stock, see the GB:WIX Stock Forecast page.

Spark’s Take on WIX Stock

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, WIX is a Neutral.

The score is anchored by mixed financial performance, where strong/improving cash flow is offset by high leverage and thin profitability. Technical indicators weaken the near-term outlook, while a moderate P/E and solid dividend yield provide valuation support.
