An announcement from Big Technologies PLC ( (GB:BIG) ) is now available.

Big Technologies reported a 12% increase in annual recurring revenue to £52.4m and 3% constant-currency revenue growth to £49.7m for 2025, or 9% excluding the loss of a major Colombian contract. Adjusted EBITDA declined to £24.6m amid a change in margin mix and management investments, while statutory results swung to a £23.0m operating loss and an 8.0p loss per share, partly reflecting exceptional legal and FX costs, though cash reserves remained robust at £93.4m even after a substantial post-year-end litigation settlement.

Operationally, the group has reshaped its management structure and ramped up its US presence, winning 16 new contracts across 10 states and lifting US ARR by 40% as well as boosting deployed Alcotags by 274% to 1,664 units. It also launched the AlcoBreath product, continues to enhance its AI-enabled Eagle monitoring platform, and, alongside partner Sonda SA, secured a seven-year Chilean Gendarmerie contract expected to generate about $26m, underscoring its strengthening position in the expanding offender electronic monitoring market despite a turbulent year marked by board changes and litigation.

The most recent analyst rating on (GB:BIG) stock is a Hold with a £105.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Big Technologies PLC stock, see the GB:BIG Stock Forecast page.

Spark’s Take on BIG Stock

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, BIG is a Outperform.

The score is driven primarily by strong underlying financial quality—high profitability and a very low-leverage balance sheet—tempered by recent revenue and free-cash-flow declines. Technically, the trend is positive but indicators (RSI/Stoch) suggest the stock is overextended, while valuation is weakened by a negative P/E and lack of dividend yield data.
