Preview: Currys set to deliver profit beat as FY2025/26 results loom

Currys plc (LON: CURY), the UK’s leading omnichannel technology retailer, reports its Full Year Results for the year ended 2 May 2026 on Thursday, with investors already primed for a strong performance after the company pre-announced profits ahead of guidance in May.

The retailer has signalled that full-year adjusted profit before tax (PBT) will be around £191m — an 18% year-on-year increase and ahead of its own £180-190m guidance range. The figure also nudges past the eight-analyst consensus of £188m, as compiled on Currys’ corporate website.

On the top line, analysts are forecasting group revenue of £9.28bn, up from the £8.71bn reported last year, underpinned by 4% full-year like-for-like sales growth across the group. The UK & Ireland division is expected to deliver revenue of £5.49bn with EBIT of £153m, while the Nordics — representing around 40% of group sales — are forecast to contribute £3.79bn in revenue and £97m in EBIT, driven by standout performances in kitchens and computing components.

The consensus points to group EBIT of £250m at a 2.7% margin, with earnings per share of 12.9p. Analysts forecast a dividend of 2.5p per share, a meaningful step up from the 1.5p paid the prior year.

The balance sheet looks healthy too, with Currys finishing the year with net cash of more than £170m and £74m returned to shareholders during the year.

Beyond the numbers, investors will be watching for an update on the search for a permanent Group Chief Executive to succeed Alex Baldock, with the company saying the process is “progressing well.”
