NCC Group plc ( (GB:NCC) ) has provided an announcement.

NCC Group will proceed with the £275m sale of its Escode business to TDR Capital, a move that will refocus the company as a pure-play global cyber security and resilience provider and is expected to trigger plans for a substantial capital return once completed. The group reported continued momentum in its Cyber division, guiding to marginal revenue growth with low single-digit gains in both Escode and Cyber for FY26, and said adjusted EBITDA should meet board expectations as it pursues operational discipline, maintains an active share buyback and prepares to outline its cyber strategy at a capital markets event later this month.

The most recent analyst rating on (GB:NCC) stock is a Hold with a £135.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on NCC Group plc stock, see the GB:NCC Stock Forecast page.
