A buoyant performance by economic struggler Greece and no immediate impact from the EU referendum boosted electrical retailer Dixons Carphone (LON:DC.).
Strong growth at the group's shops in the Hellenic Republic drove a 13% rise in like-for-like revenue in its southern European region.
In contrast, its UK & Ireland business increased revenue by 4%, but the performance took a 1% blow from store refurbishments.
Revenue from shops in its Nordic region increased 2%. Overall group revenue rose 9% and like-for-like revenue lifted 4% in the 13 weeks to July 30.
Dixons Carphone said it had not seen any visible evidence so far of an impact from the EU referendum vote on consumer behaviour in the UK.
Chief executive Seb James said: "We're optimistic about the future and about our ability to continue to outperform, without in any way being complacent."
Hargreaves Lansdown equity analyst George Salmon highlighted the boost that the iPhone 7 could give the group.
He said: “Dixons Carphone has again reported strong numbers and joins the lengthening list of companies that have seen no discernible impact on the UK consumer from the Brexit vote.
"The group will be rubbing its hands together after yesterday’s launch of the iPhone 7, and the introduction of wireless headphones opens up a whole new market.
"Dixons Carphone’s robust revenue growth is impressive, all the more so given macroeconomic headwinds in its core UK, Nordic and Southern European markets."
Liberum Capital said: "With trading ahead of expectations and comparatives tart to ease as we move through the year, we remain confident that we could be upgrading as we move through the year.
"The shares are weak and remain under-valued and we advocate a strong 'buy'."
