RC Fornax boosts FY26 order book as defence demand builds

RC Fornax plc ( (GB:RCFX) ) just unveiled an update.

RC Fornax reported continued strong trading in FY26, with Q2 order intake of about £1.9 million despite the usual Christmas slowdown in the defence sector. The company said momentum had carried into March, when it secured around £1.4 million in additional orders, including new public sector work and extensions to existing contracts.

Building on its strongest-ever quarter at the start of FY26, RC Fornax now has visibility over more than £5.1 million of sales under purchase order or subject to contract for the current year. Management attributed the step-up in recurring orders to both better market conditions and internal operational changes, and said robust demand, driven by the UK’s focus on war-fighting readiness and budget constraints, is strengthening revenue visibility and supporting growing confidence in the business outlook.
