Summary

Marks & Spencer’s CEO says a brutal cyberattack last year, which tanked online sales and drove customers to rivals like Next, actually sparked a strategic reset—and profits are poised to rebound this year. Despite a 24% profit plunge to £671 million and fashion/beauty slumps, overall sales edged up 2% to £14.2 billion. Shareholders at the AGM will also scrutinize Ocado Retail, where M&S’s product lineup helped sales but faces headwinds as shoppers return to physical supermarkets. Analysts are watching closely for signs of momentum in food, fashion, and home divisions—and whether M&S can recover fast enough from the digital disruption amid shifting consumer habits.
