Breedon lifts Q1 revenue as U.S. and Ireland offset UK softness

Meet Samuel – Your Personal Investing Prophet

Breedon ( (GB:BREE) ) has issued an announcement.

Breedon Group reported that first-quarter trading was in line with expectations, with revenue up 5% year on year, supported by contributions from recent acquisitions Lionmark in the U.S. and Booth in Ireland, and a 2% like-for-like revenue rise. Stronger activity in the U.S. and Ireland helped offset softer conditions in Great Britain’s subdued residential market, while management highlighted ongoing progress on operational initiatives and a solid financial position.

Regional trends were mixed, with stabilising non-residential demand in Great Britain, modest volume growth and ongoing integration work in Ireland, and weather-assisted volume recovery plus healthy backlogs tied to U.S. infrastructure projects. Breedon is using commodity hedging and targeted price adjustments to manage cost volatility stemming from geopolitical tensions, expects residential demand to remain challenging but sees more resilient non-residential markets, and continues to push its ‘Back British Cement’ campaign to influence the UK policy environment for domestic cement producers.

The most recent analyst rating on (GB:BREE) stock is a Buy with a £415.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Breedon stock, see the GB:BREE Stock Forecast page.

Spark’s Take on BREE Stock

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, BREE is a Neutral.

The score is driven primarily by solid financial performance (steady growth and strong operating cash flow, but higher 2025 leverage and uneven FCF conversion) and very supportive valuation (low P/E and high dividend yield). Technicals are a secondary drag due to price trading below key moving averages and negative MACD.
