Frontier Developments ( (GB:FDEV) ) has shared an announcement.

Frontier Developments reported a strong first half for the 2026 financial year, with revenue up 26% to £59.6m and adjusted operating profit rising 76% to £9.7m, driven primarily by the successful launch of Jurassic World Evolution 3 and robust performance across its CMS portfolio. CMS titles accounted for 90% of H1 revenue, with Jurassic World Evolution 3 achieving record-breaking December sales and award nominations, while Planet Zoo became the company’s highest-grossing individual game and Planet Coaster continued to outperform expectations, underpinning a pipeline that includes a Planet Zoo sequel in FY27 and an unannounced CMS title in FY28. The strength of trading, including Frontier’s second-highest December revenue ever, prompted an upgrade to full-year guidance to around £100m in revenue and £11m in adjusted operating profit, reinforcing the company’s turnaround to sustainable growth. The period also marked a planned leadership transition, with former CMO Jo Cooke taking over as CEO from Jonny Watts, who remains on the board to ensure continuity as Frontier doubles down on its CMS-focused strategy and content roadmap.

The most recent analyst rating on (GB:FDEV) stock is a Buy with a £586.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Frontier Developments stock, see the GB:FDEV Stock Forecast page.
