“These strong results show the vital role that technology plays in millions of lives, and that more and more customers are turning to Currys to help them enjoy that technology to the full,” said Alex Baldock, Group Chief Executive.
The company announced a final dividend of 2.15p, taking the full-year dividend 5% higher to 3.15p.

Looking at the current graphs, it is clear Currys has been underperforming. Its stock fell almost 39% in 2022 and it is yet to show any signs of recovery. Meanwhile, the Google Trends chart shows that interest over the last year has declined and this may be a strong indication of why Currys is performing so poorly.
