The latest announcement is out from Mitchells & Butlers ( (GB:MAB) ).
Mitchells & Butlers reported half‑year revenue of £1.49bn for the 28 weeks to 11 April 2026, up 2.5% year on year, with like‑for‑like sales rising 3.3% across its estate of pubs, restaurants and bars. Adjusted operating profit held at £181m despite significant inflation in labour and food costs, while basic earnings per share improved to 17.9p and guest review scores reached a record 4.7 out of 5, underscoring strong brand appeal.
Management highlighted that disciplined cost control, efficiency gains from its Ignite programme and data‑driven labour scheduling helped offset roughly £120m of cost headwinds, supporting profitability and market outperformance. With net debt reduced to £747m, energy costs largely secured for the current year and a predominantly freehold estate, the company sees itself well positioned to continue gaining share in a sector facing supply contraction and persistent macroeconomic pressures.
The most recent analyst rating on (GB:MAB) stock is a Buy with a £325.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Mitchells & Butlers stock, see the GB:MAB Stock Forecast page.
