The latest announcement is out from Plexus Holdings ( (GB:POS) ).

Plexus Holdings reported a sharp drop in revenue to £4.48m and swung to a £3.3m loss before tax for the year to 30 June 2025, reflecting the absence of last year’s one-off licence deal and a deliberate investment phase to rebuild its rental wellhead fleet and expand operations. Despite weak sentiment and project deferrals in the UK North Sea amid uncertainty over the Energy Profits Levy, the group completed a major £9m North Sea project and a £1.9m Dutch sector P&A phase, raised £3.5m of equity to double its Exact rental fleet, maintained cash at £2.5m and strengthened its balance sheet. Operationally, Plexus is pivoting toward international growth, with a $1m Middle East gas exploration contract and a North American rental contract both due to start in Q1 2026, a new business development presence in the UAE, and a two‑year framework agreement with a North Sea operator, while a new £2m loan facility boosts financial flexibility. Management sees these steps, alongside ongoing R&D, preserved API Q1 accreditation and the continued strategic value of its POS-GRIP intellectual property and collaboration with SLB, as laying the foundation for future rental-led revenue growth across offshore oil and gas, CCS and geothermal applications.

The most recent analyst rating on (GB:POS) stock is a Hold with a £9.50 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Plexus Holdings stock, see the GB:POS Stock Forecast page.

Spark’s Take on GB:POS Stock

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, GB:POS is a Neutral.

Plexus Holdings shows strong financial recovery and positive corporate events, enhancing its growth outlook. However, a negative P/E ratio and the absence of dividends weigh on the valuation score. Technical indicators support a cautiously optimistic view, but volatility in revenue and cash flows should be monitored.
