An update from Inchcape ( (GB:INCH) ) is now available.
Inchcape, the London-based global automotive distributor, focuses on connecting mobility brands with customers in smaller and higher-growth markets worldwide, using data-driven tools to manage everything from import logistics and pricing to digital and physical sales and aftersales services. Its capital-light, cash-generative model underpins a strategy of bolt-on acquisitions and contract wins to build scale in complex markets.
For 2025, Inchcape reported a 3% rise in vehicle volumes and 1% organic revenue growth to £9.1bn, with resilient 6.2% operating margins and adjusted basic EPS up 13%, supported in part by £17m from non-core disposals. Strong cash generation and low leverage enabled significant shareholder distributions, including completion of a £250m buyback, a 13% dividend increase and the launch of a new £175m repurchase, while 10 new distribution contracts and an Iceland acquisition advanced its Accelerate+ strategy and underpinned guidance for further growth in 2026.
The most recent analyst rating on (GB:INCH) stock is a Hold with a £880.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Inchcape stock, see the GB:INCH Stock Forecast page.
