Celtic ( (GB:CCP) ) has shared an announcement.

Celtic reported a sharp drop in first-half revenue and profitability after missing out on the higher-paying UEFA Champions League and instead competing in the Europa League, with revenue down 28.9% to £59.4m and profit from trading falling to £4.2m, though cash reserves remained robust at £67.4m. Management upheaval, including the departure of Brendan Rodgers and a brief stint for Wilfried Nancy before Martin O’Neill’s return, has prompted a governance reset and a more cautious outlook, as the board warns that second-half revenue and profit will be significantly lower while the club continues to invest in the squad and remains in contention in domestic and European competitions.

The most recent analyst rating on (GB:CCP) stock is a Buy with a £223.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Celtic stock, see the GB:CCP Stock Forecast page.
