Malvern International ( (GB:MLVN) ) just unveiled an announcement.

Malvern International plans to raise approximately £2.0 million before expenses through a placing, retail offer and intended directors’ subscription at 23 pence per share, a roughly 6% discount to the prior close. The fundraising, split into firm and conditional tranches and representing about 26% of enlarged share capital, will primarily finance the development and scale-up of four recently won university pathway contracts, with completion dependent on shareholder approval at a March general meeting.

The company reported unaudited revenue of £14.1 million for the nine months to 30 September 2025, slightly below 2024’s full-year £14.7 million, and an underlying profit of about £0.1 million versus a prior loss. However, a goodwill write-off linked to its Manchester school will push the statutory loss to around £1.3 million, highlighting both the operational progress and balance-sheet impact as Malvern seeks fresh capital to support growth and shore up its position in the education sector.

The most recent analyst rating on (GB:MLVN) stock is a Hold with a £27.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Malvern International stock, see the GB:MLVN Stock Forecast page.
