Grafton ( (GB:GFTU) ) has issued an update.
Grafton Group reported that trading for 2025 was in line with expectations, with full-year revenue rising 10.4% to £2.52 billion and adjusted operating profit anticipated to meet market forecasts, supported by its diversified portfolio and tight margin and cost management amid softening demand in some markets. The group has reorganised into four geographic operating segments—Island of Ireland, Great Britain, Northern Europe and Iberia—while highlighting robust growth in Ireland and especially Iberia, weaker conditions in Great Britain and Northern Europe, and the appointment of Mario Ballarín as Iberia CEO to drive regional expansion; management said the balance sheet and acquisition pipeline leave the company well-placed to capitalise when market conditions improve.
The most recent analyst rating on (GB:GFTU) stock is a Buy with a £1067.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Grafton stock, see the GB:GFTU Stock Forecast page.
Spark’s Take on GB:GFTU Stock
According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, GB:GFTU is a Outperform.
Grafton’s overall stock score is driven by its solid financial structure and attractive valuation, supported by strong dividend yield and active share buybacks. The positive earnings call and corporate events further bolster confidence. However, challenges in profitability and cash flow management, along with neutral technical indicators, slightly temper the outlook.
