Ramsdens Holdings ( (GB:RFX) ) has shared an announcement.
Ramsdens Holdings has upgraded its profit outlook for the year to 30 September 2026, now expecting pre-tax profit of more than £21m compared with £16.2m last year and above prior market forecasts. The outperformance is being driven primarily by its precious metals purchasing arm, which is benefiting from record high gold prices and strong buying volumes.
Jewellery retail is trading robustly in-store and online, supported by the recent launch of a re-platformed dedicated jewellery website, while pawnbroking lending hit record levels in January as the group maintains conservative loan-to-gold values. Foreign currency volumes remain flat year on year with a shift toward lower-margin digital channels, and the group is expanding its footprint with new stores in Wakefield, Hull and the Isle of Sheppey and remains on track to open eight to 12 new outlets in FY26, underpinning management’s confidence in continued growth despite macroeconomic uncertainties.
The most recent analyst rating on (GB:RFX) stock is a Buy with a £440.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Ramsdens Holdings stock, see the GB:RFX Stock Forecast page.
Spark’s Take on GB:RFX Stock
According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, GB:RFX is a Outperform.
The score is driven primarily by solid financial performance (strong growth and improved profitability) but tempered by inconsistent cash conversion and FCF volatility. Technicals support the rating with a strong uptrend, though overbought indicators raise pullback risk. Valuation appears reasonable with a modest dividend, and the earnings call added support via upbeat FY26 guidance while acknowledging gold- and cost-related risks.
