NWF Group plc ( (GB:NWF) ) just unveiled an update.
NWF Group reported a mixed first-half performance for the six months to 30 November 2025, with revenue down 4.3% to £434.6m and headline profit before tax falling 75% to £0.9m, as strong trading in its Food and Feeds divisions was more than offset by weakness in Fuels. Suppressed demand and intense competition in both domestic heating oil and commercial gas oil pushed the Fuels business into a £1.6m headline operating loss, though colder weather since late November has started to lift domestic volumes, while Food delivered a 32% rise in headline operating profit to £3.3m on higher throughput and cost restructuring benefits, and Feeds increased profit to £1.3m supported by stable milk and raw material prices and additional volume from a new moist feed line. Despite lower profits and net cash slipping to £0.8m following £5.5m of bolt-on Fuels acquisitions, the Group maintained its interim dividend at 1.0p, highlighted strong operating cash generation, substantial banking headroom and an improved pension position, and reaffirmed unchanged full-year expectations ahead of its seasonally more important second half.
The most recent analyst rating on (GB:NWF) stock is a Hold with a £144.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on NWF Group plc stock, see the GB:NWF Stock Forecast page.
