The latest announcement is out from James Fisher & Sons ( (GB:FSJ) ).
James Fisher and Sons reported underlying adjusted revenue up 4.3% to £377.2m and a 56.3% jump in underlying operating profit to £28.6m for 2025, as operating margin improved to 7.6% and return on capital employed rose to 8.6%. Net debt edged down to £54.4m, leaving leverage at 1.3 times and within the group’s target range, despite reported profit falling year-on-year due to prior-period disposal gains.

Strengthened Defence capabilities, recovering Energy markets and selective growth in Maritime Transport, supported by new product development and stricter capital allocation, are expected to underpin further operational and margin progress in 2026.

Spark’s Take on GB:FSJ Stock
According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, GB:FSJ is a Outperform.
The score is driven by solid financial performance (healthy margins, strong cash conversion, and strong ROE) and supportive technical strength (price above key moving averages with positive MACD). Valuation is also a positive factor due to the very low P/E, partially offset by declining revenue and elevated momentum signals that look stretched (high RSI/Stoch).
