Gattaca ( (GB:GATC) ) has issued an update.
Gattaca reported a strong first half to 31 January 2026, with revenue up 10% to £212.4m and net fee income rising 13% to £21.4m, driven by gains in infrastructure, defence and energy. Underlying profit before tax from continuing operations nearly tripled to £3m, earnings per share more than doubled and the interim dividend was raised by a third, even as net cash fell to £13m following higher contractor volumes, the InfoSec People acquisition and prior-year dividends.
The group continued to sharpen its strategic focus by consolidating its recruitment activities under the Matchtech brand, integrating the InfoSec People deal to build cyber capability, and investing in technology, including an AI and automation programme, to lift productivity. Despite subdued permanent hiring and wider macro headwinds, Gattaca is targeting headcount growth in core markets, sees itself gaining market share and has reiterated guidance for £4.5m of continuing underlying pre-tax profit for the full year, underscoring confidence in its positioning within specialist technical recruitment.
The most recent analyst rating on (GB:GATC) stock is a Hold with a £112.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Gattaca stock, see the GB:GATC Stock Forecast page.
