Analysts added ASOS is one of the best positioned in the current environment thanks to its online focus.
Next PLC’s (LON:NXT) stock was bumped up to 4,500p from 4,150p, however the Swiss bank expects a greater profit drop-through despite lockdowns being lifted.
“Both online demand and more recently trading post-lockdown have surprised, despite social distancing,” analysts commented.
“However, excess promotions, adverse weather and the end of government furlough schemes could all affect demand through the summer.”
Shares in ASOS dipped 1% to 3,068.7p, Next dropped 3% to 5,427.4p while B&M was flat at 375.5p at noon.
