The latest announcement is out from ME Group International ( (GB:MEGP) ).

ME Group International reported another year of record profitability for the 12 months to 31 October 2025, as profit before tax rose 6.5% to £78.2 million on a 2.4% increase in revenue to £315.4 million, and EBITDA climbed 5.4% with margins improving to 38.2%. Growth was powered by its fast-expanding laundry division, where revenue jumped 17.3% and 1,326 machines were installed, helping offset a 4% decline in photobooth revenue linked to German regulation and supplier issues, while strong cash generation funded higher capex, a 9.5% dividend increase, and the launch of an £18 million share buyback that underscores management’s confidence and strengthens the group’s position in automated self-service markets.

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

Spark’s Take on MEGP Stock

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, MEGP is a Neutral.

ME Group International’s strong financial performance and attractive valuation are offset by bearish technical indicators. The company’s robust revenue and profit growth, along with a stable balance sheet, contribute positively to its score. However, the current downtrend in stock price and oversold technical conditions present a risk. The low P/E ratio and high dividend yield enhance its valuation appeal, but investors should be cautious of the current market momentum.
