An update from Marshalls ( (GB:MSLH) ) is now available.

Marshalls reported that its 2025 adjusted profit before tax is expected to be in line with market expectations and that group revenue rose 2% year-on-year to £632 million, reflecting a modest return to growth in subdued end markets. Landscaping Products revenue slipped 1% as volume gains were offset by price and mix effects, while Building Products and Roofing Products each grew 4%, driven by strong performance in water management and a 32% annual revenue increase at Viridian Solar, partially offset by softness in bricks and a second-half decline at Marley. The company has implemented a Landscaping Products improvement plan, including exiting UK quarried natural stone processing, which is on track to deliver £11 million in annualised cost savings, with £3 million realised in 2025, supporting volume and market share gains. Marshalls’ balance sheet remains robust with pre-IFRS 16 net debt of £138 million and £125 million of undrawn headroom on its refinanced syndicated facility, giving it capacity to fund strategic and operational growth. Despite ongoing uncertainty in its end markets and no expectation of a near-term demand rebound, the board anticipates improved financial performance in 2026 driven by the lower cost base and continued execution of its ‘Transform & Grow’ strategy, under the leadership of newly appointed CEO Simon Bourne, positioning the group to benefit from a future market recovery and structural growth drivers.

The most recent analyst rating on (GB:MSLH) stock is a Hold with a £190.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Marshalls stock, see the GB:MSLH Stock Forecast page.
