The latest update is out from Colefax ( (GB:CFX) ).

Colefax Group reported a robust first half for the six months to 31 October 2025, with group sales up 11.7% to £58.96 million and pre-tax profit rising 21.3% to £5.29 million, driven chiefly by strong growth in its Fabric Division and a return to profit in its Decorating Division. The US fabric business performed particularly well despite steep increases in US import tariffs and a weaker dollar, while the company continued to generate strong cash flow, returned £6.1 million to shareholders via a substantial share buyback, and raised its interim dividend in line with a progressive policy, signalling confidence in its outlook even as management cautions that next year’s fabric sales growth will be harder to replicate and performance will depend on stable market conditions.

The most recent analyst rating on (GB:CFX) stock is a Buy with a £1156.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Colefax stock, see the GB:CFX Stock Forecast page.
