Currys is crushing it against the retail tide, soaring 6% in sales over 17 weeks fueled by summer heat and the World Cup—plus a 9% boost in the Nordics. They’re gaining ground in Britain, thanks to booming services like iD Mobile (2.7M subscribers) and credit offerings. New CEO Fredrik Tønnesen, a 20-year veteran, is off to a strong start, deepening ties with UK/Ireland teams while staying confident amid inflation and energy hikes. With a $50M share buyback underway and cash reserves beating forecasts, Currys is armored for the year ahead—despite looming costs and online rivals—thanks to its cash-rich position and recurring revenue engine.
