Next stock holds near its yearly range as RBC keeps Buy rating

Next stock traded at GBX 11,530 on September 22, 2026, after a session range of GBX 11,100 to GBX 11,530 and a prior close of GBX 11,530. The 52-week range stood at GBX 10,900 to GBX 17,840, placing the share price 35.4 percent below the high and 5.8 percent above the low.

RBC keeps a GBX 17,000 target

According to TipRanks on September 22, 2026, RBC Capital analyst Richard Chamberlain maintained a Buy rating on Next and set a price target of GBX 17,000. The target is 47.5 percent above the quoted price of GBX 11,530, making the valuation gap the clearest current analyst reference.

The comparison also puts the target below the stock's reported 52-week high of GBX 17,840 by GBX 840. That leaves the target 4.7 percent under the yearly peak while still standing materially above the September 22, 2026 quotation.

Latest reported figures set the base

Next's most recent reported revenue, profit and guidance figures provide the operating backdrop for the rating. The company remains a UK-listed retailer, so the market is weighing the analyst target against the latest disclosed trading period rather than against the current share price alone.

For investors, the arithmetic is straightforward: the quoted price is GBX 5,470 below RBC's target and GBX 6,310 below the 52-week high. The stock therefore sits much closer to its annual low than to its annual high, while the Buy view assumes that the company's latest operating performance can support a recovery toward the target.
