The latest update is out from Intertek ( (GB:ITRK) ).
Intertek Group plc has announced a planned leadership transition, with Steve Mogford set to succeed Andrew Martin as Chairman of the Board following the company’s Annual General Meeting on 20 May 2026. Martin will retire as Chairman and non-executive director after nearly a decade on the board, during which he oversaw the rollout of Intertek’s AAA growth strategy, steered the group through the Covid period, and strengthened board governance.
Mogford, who joined Intertek as an independent non-executive director in January 2025, brings extensive public markets and regulated-industry experience from senior roles at QinetiQ, Costain and United Utilities, where he was CEO until 2023. Upon assuming the chair, he will lead the Nomination Committee and step down from the Audit Committee, with Intertek confirming that no additional remuneration or loss-of-office payments will be made to Martin, underscoring a controlled and orderly governance transition for investors and other stakeholders.

Spark’s Take on ITRK Stock
According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, ITRK is a Neutral.
The score reflects strong underlying business quality (steady growth, solid margins, and positive free cash flow) and supportive valuation (low P/E and ~4% yield). These positives are tempered by clear technical weakness (trading well below key moving averages with negative MACD) and rising balance-sheet/cash-flow risk signals in 2025, despite constructive 2026 guidance.
