Balfour Beatty ( (GB:BBY) ) just unveiled an announcement.
Balfour Beatty reported strong financial results for the first half of 2025, driven by robust performance in its UK Construction and Support Services divisions. The company achieved a 7% increase in profit from operations in its earnings-based businesses and reached its 3% margin target for UK Construction a year ahead of schedule. Despite a loss in US Construction due to cost overruns, the company maintains a positive outlook with a growing order book valued at £19.5 billion, supported by UK government infrastructure initiatives. This growth underpins Balfour Beatty’s confidence in future cash generation, supporting dividends and share buybacks, and positions the company well for continued expansion in its strategic markets.
