LONDON, Oct 28 (Reuters) - British fashion retailer Next
upgraded its full-year profit guidance for the third
time in as many months after full-price sales in its third
quarter exceeded its expectations.
The company, which does more than half of its sales online,
said full-price sales rose 2.8% in the 13 weeks to Oct. 24, its
fiscal third quarter.
It said its full-year pretax profit was now forecast at 365
million pounds, 65 million pounds higher than its central
scenario given in September.
