McBride ( (GB:MCB) ) has shared an update.
McBride reported that its full-year adjusted operating profit for the year ending June 2026 is expected to be in line with both analysts’ forecasts and the previous two financial years, as the group continues to build on recent improvements in financial performance. While first-half adjusted operating profit will be slightly below the exceptionally strong prior-year period, the company expects a stronger second half driven by a pipeline of confirmed business wins scheduled for launch, underpinning profit growth into 2027 and 2028. Group revenue for the six months to 31 December 2025 grew 0.8% at reported rates with a 0.4% increase in volumes, as robust demand for private label products supported stable profitability achieved through product engineering, operational efficiencies and tight overhead control. Net debt rose to £120.6m, equivalent to around 1.4x trailing 12‑month EBITDA, after £12.9m was returned to shareholders via dividends, a share buy-back and Employee Benefit Trust purchases to mitigate future equity dilution, with half-year results due on 24 February 2026.
The most recent analyst rating on (GB:MCB) stock is a Buy with a £162.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on McBride stock, see the GB:MCB Stock Forecast page.
