Galliford Try Lifts Profit Expectations on Strong Framework Wins and Robust Balance Sheet

Galliford Try ( (GB:GFRD) ) just unveiled an announcement.

Galliford Try reported that trading for the half year to 31 December 2025 is ahead of the prior year and the board’s expectations, underpinned by strong positions on long-term public and regulated sector frameworks and progress on the enlarged AMP8 water programmes. The group now expects full-year revenue to come in towards the upper end of market forecasts and adjusted profit before tax to slightly exceed the top of the current forecast range, supported by a robust £4.1bn order book and recent wins including places on National Grid’s Major Works & Civils Framework, The Hyde Group’s affordable homes framework, and the YORCivil Major Works 2 Framework. Galliford Try highlighted a strengthened balance sheet, with rising average cash, no debt or pension liabilities, and an undrawn revolving credit facility, which it says enhances its ability to secure high-quality work and support its supply chain, while also funding shareholder returns such as its ongoing £10m share buyback programme.

The most recent analyst rating on (GB:GFRD) stock is a Buy with a £620.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Galliford Try stock, see the GB:GFRD Stock Forecast page.
