The latest update is out from Lords Group Trading PLC ( (GB:LORD) ).
Lords Group Trading reported an 8.3% rise in full-year 2025 revenue to £473 million, with adjusted EBITDA expected to match market expectations and net debt reduced by 55% to £14.5 million, signalling strengthened balance sheet discipline despite subdued construction markets. Merchanting revenues grew 6% to £227 million, aided by three new branches, while plumbing and heating revenues held broadly flat at £220 million amid margin improvement and a 57% surge in renewables sales. The acquisition of CMO, which generated £26 million of revenue since June and turned profitable in the second half, expands Lords’ digital reach and diversifies its platform. With significantly lower leverage, growing renewables and digital operations, and a strategic review of the plumbing and heating division underway, the Group is positioning itself for operational leverage and growth when construction volumes recover, underpinning the Board’s confidence in its medium‑term prospects.
The most recent analyst rating on (GB:LORD) stock is a Hold with a £25.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Lords Group Trading PLC stock, see the GB:LORD Stock Forecast page.

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, GB:LORD is a Neutral.
The overall stock score of 62 reflects a mix of financial challenges and positive corporate events.

The dividend yield adds some value, but the negative P/E ratio remains a concern.
