The latest update is out from Gattaca ( (GB:GATC) ).

Gattaca reported strong trading for the first half of its 2026 financial year, with total net fee income expected to rise to £21.2m from £18.9m, and like-for-like NFI up 7% year on year, driven by robust contract demand in core sectors. Contract NFI grew 13% on a like-for-like basis, while permanent fees were stable and statement-of-work income fell due to client programme delays, as the group reduced sales headcount by 6% but continued to prioritise operational efficiency and targeted investment.

The company expects adjusted profit before tax of £4.5m for FY26 and plans to increase sales headcount by 10% over the year, underscoring confidence in sustainable growth despite a lower net cash position of £13.0m after working capital absorption, the InfoSec acquisition and dividend payments. Management highlighted the successful integration of InfoSec, which has enhanced Gattaca’s cyber capability and supported contract momentum, reinforcing its technology-focused growth strategy and its intention to resume interim dividends, signalling a positive outlook for shareholders.

The most recent analyst rating on (GB:GATC) stock is a Hold with a £125.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Gattaca stock, see the GB:GATC Stock Forecast page.
