Electrical chain Dixons shrugged off fears about a slowdown on the High Street as it stuck to full-year targets.
Dixons made the upbeat comments as it updated investors and analysts ahead of its interim results.
In a brief statement to the City, it said: "Management remains confident it will deliver a full-year trading performance in line with market expectations."
The retail boom has bolstered retailers but some commentators are concerned the buoyant conditions could be easing ahead of the crucial festive season.
