17 March 2026: FY2025 adjusted profit before tax rose 14.4% to £49.9m on revenue of £1.64bn, despite a still-challenging consumer backdrop. Continued recovery in Design & Installation orders, resilient trade demand and the ability to convert improved sales into cash and margins will determine whether earnings momentum carries into 2027.
Wickes pays an interim and final dividend. The FY2025 total dividend was maintained at 10.9p per share; the 7.3p final dividend was paid on 5 June 2026, with the balance represented by the earlier interim payment.
