BUZZ-Debenhams: tops midcap list on Christmas beat

Reuters - UK Focus

** Department store chain Debenhams (Other OTC: DBHSF - news) jumps 17 pct, on track for sharpest gain since 2009 and races ahead of the pack on the FTSE 250 & after it beats analyst expectations in the Christmas trading period

** Like-for-like sales for 19-wks to Jan. 9 up 1.9 pct, vs analysts' view of 0.3 pct rise, helped by bumper online shopping & clever management of stock of winter coats during unseasonably warm weather

** Co looks to have been better positioned than some of its peers with regards to the weather, with reduced range of stock in weather-sensitive categories, Liberum writes

** Other fashion retailers Next (EUREX: NXTI.EX - news) & Marks & Spencer results over Christmas hurt as unusually warm weather deterred people from buying warm clothing

** Debehnams top gainer on Stoxx small cos index, with 85% of 90-day daily avg volume through in 40 mins (RM (LSE: RM.L - news) : esha.vaish.thomsonreuters.com@reuters.net)
