B&M's results contain negative surprises, say analysts

  • B&M European Value Retail SA (LSE:BME) shares slipped 9% on Tuesday as analysts said first-quarter results showed the discounter continued to see modest sales of fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) that investors were hoping for.  UK like-for-like (LFL) sales rose 1.3% in the 13 weeks to 28 June 2025, helped by strong Easter-boosted April trading in general merchandise, though sales slowed in May and June.
