Meet Samuel – Your Personal Investing Prophet

Luceco plc ( (GB:LUCE) ) just unveiled an announcement.

Luceco reported a strong 2025 performance, with revenue up 11.9% to £271.4m and adjusted operating profit rising 16.6% to £33.8m, driven by rapid expansion in Energy Transition products and steady growth in core wiring accessories and LED lighting. EV charging sales jumped 84.7% to £18.1m, margins improved to 12.5%, bank net debt fell to £52.3m, and robust cash generation enabled a 20% dividend increase and left the balance sheet positioned for organic investment and bolt‑on acquisitions.

Momentum has carried into early 2026 with double‑digit like‑for‑like revenue growth in the first two months, underpinned by strong demand across products and geographies and growing revenue from EV chargers participating in demand‑flexibility schemes. The board now expects 2026 adjusted operating profit to exceed £37m, signalling confidence in further margin progression and reinforcing Luceco’s positioning as a key beneficiary of the energy transition, despite macroeconomic and geopolitical uncertainties.

The most recent analyst rating on (GB:LUCE) stock is a Hold with a £179.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Luceco plc stock, see the GB:LUCE Stock Forecast page.
