Home improvement outfit Wickes delivered pre-tax profits of £52m for the full year yesterday, 11 per cent of the markets' expectations. While retail sales were in line with the prior year and its design and installation division came in lower, good cost control helped soften the impact, say analysts at Peel Hunt. Peel Hunt say the firm is guzzling up market share - they rate it a buy stock with a target price of 170p.
