Dec 10, 2025
1117 GMT - Kingfisher's investment case hinges on its performance in the U.K. over the past few years, and this market is likely to slow next year, Deutsche Bank analysts write in a note. There are macro concerns around consumer spending, the analysts say. In terms of costs, the management team has been able to offset wage pressure, but this will become more of a challenge in 2026 due to the annualization of national insurance increases, the analysts write. Shares are down 1.7% at 300.6 pence. (aimee.look@wsj.com)
