Angling Direct Plc ( (GB:ANG) ) has provided an announcement.
Angling Direct reported record full-year revenue of £103.9m for the year to 31 January 2026, driven by a 14.8% rise in UK sales to £99.2m and strong growth across both stores and online. Adjusted EBITDA jumped 42.9% to £4.8m, gross margin expanded to 37.6%, and the retailer maintained a net cash position of £10.9m while returning £2.0m to shareholders through a buyback that has trimmed the share count by about 6%.
Operationally, the company accelerated the rollout of its MyAD loyalty and membership club, lifting UK membership almost 47% to more than 600,000, and opened six new stores to reach 58 sites. Despite softer trading and modest cost pressures linked to the Middle East conflict, Angling Direct says it has protected its FY27 guidance and has upgraded its medium-term targets, including a UK revenue “flightpath” to £125m, higher EBITDA, expansion in Germany and the Netherlands, and a focus on capital discipline and responsible employment.
The most recent analyst rating on (GB:ANG) stock is a Buy with a £67.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Angling Direct Plc stock, see the GB:ANG Stock Forecast page.
