The latest update is out from James Halstead ( (GB:JHD) ).
James Halstead has reported that sales for the half year to 31 December 2025 will show a slight decline versus the prior year, with challenging conditions in Central Europe and Asia Pacific weighing on overall revenue, though UK sales remain marginally ahead and trading in North America, the Middle East and South Africa continues to grow. A conservative approach to customer credit has dampened revenue and will result in a modest reduction in profitability for the period, but the board highlights rising cash balances, an ungeared balance sheet and ongoing investment in UK sites, alongside new and updated product ranges and management changes in APAC, as drivers expected to support improved revenue and profitability in the second half.
The most recent analyst rating on (GB:JHD) stock is a Hold with a £148.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on James Halstead stock, see the GB:JHD Stock Forecast page.
