Next (ISIN GB0032089863) stock was trading at EUR 181.85 at Lang & Schwarz on October 20, 2026 at 12:33 p.m. CEST. The immediate company event was a director's sale of 4,002 shares at GBP 152.0125 on October 19, 2026, disclosed by Investormeetcompany.

Three events shape the timeline

On September 17, 2026, Next published half-year results for the period ending August 1, 2026 and declared a 98-pence interim dividend payable on January 4, 2027, according to The Globe and Mail. On October 1, 2026, the company granted a conditional long-term incentive award covering 14,291 shares to CEO Lord Wolfson, as reported by Investormeetcompany. The October 19, 2026 disposal of 4,002 shares is the latest event in that sequence.

What does the sale change?

The transaction is small relative to the company's market value of GBP 17.3 billion as of October 20, 2026. It therefore adds an executive trading signal rather than changing Next's operating outlook. The latest quoted London price was GBp 15,175 at 11:34 a.m. London time on October 20, 2026, while the 52-week range was GBp 11,695.00 to GBp 16,175.00.

Two dates for investors

Next's investor calendar lists November 5, 2026 for its third-quarter trading statement and December 3, 2026 for the interim dividend ex-dividend date, according to the company's investor page. The January 4, 2027 payment date gives the dividend event a later cash-flow milestone.
