Forterra ( (GB:FORT) ) has provided an announcement.

Forterra reported a 12% rise in full-year 2025 revenue to about £386m, driven mainly by higher sales volumes, with brick products singled out as the most resilient line. Adjusted EBITDA is expected to be in line with market forecasts, while lower interest and depreciation charges should push adjusted profit before tax and earnings per share ahead of expectations, and net debt has been cut sharply to around £56m, bringing leverage down to about one times adjusted EBITDA; the board plans to outline future capital allocation priorities alongside the full-year results and remains confident that recent capacity investments leave the group well positioned to benefit from structurally strong UK housing demand once market conditions improve.

The most recent analyst rating on (GB:FORT) stock is a Hold with a £220.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Forterra stock, see the GB:FORT Stock Forecast page.
