Dunelm warns of a weak start and flat annual profit

Dunelm ($DNLM) expects adjusted pre-tax profit for financial year 2027 to be broadly unchanged from the previous year’s £211 million. Sales weakened significantly in the first six weeks because of unusually hot weather. The retailer is launching a three-year growth plan, targeting £25–30 million in cost savings in 2027 and planning to reinvest a similar amount in growth.
