Marks & Spencer stock carries a 2025/26 adjusted profit before tax of GBP 671.4 million, according to Marks & Spencer. The figure gives investors a clear starting point for assessing the retailer after a year in which sales and capital returns remained central measures.

Sales provide the scale

Marks & Spencer lists 2025/26 group sales excluding Ocado Retail at GBP 14.2 billion and free cash flow from operations at GBP 131.3 million. Adjusted return on capital employed was 12.70 percent for the same reporting period.

The mix matters because the group combines UK Clothing & Home, UK Food, International and Ocado-related operations. That breadth gives the sales figure a broader base than a single-format retailer, while the cash flow figure keeps attention on conversion rather than revenue alone.

London shares below the yearly high

On September 29, 2026, Marks & Spencer stock stood at GBp 381.80 on the London Stock Exchange at 3:44 p.m. London time. The price was 8.73 percent below the 52-week high of GBp 418.33 and above the 52-week low of GBp 301.10.

The market comparison places the shares closer to the upper half of their annual range than to the low. That positioning makes the 2025/26 capital-return figure relevant: investors are weighing the retailer's operating scale against the valuation already reflected in the London quote.

Market value reaches GBP 7.8 billion

Marks & Spencer had a market capitalization of GBP 7.8 billion on September 29, 2026. The company remains a department-store retailer with clothing, food and home products, while its investor materials also highlight net funds excluding leases of GBP 338.2 million for 2025/26.
