The Barkby Group PLC ( (GB:ROAD) ) just unveiled an announcement.
Roadside Real Estate PLC has used the past year under chairman Steve Carson to reposition its strategy around building a scalable energy forecourt and convenience retail platform, while strengthening its management team. The business has concentrated on assembling a strong pipeline of petrol filling station opportunities to underpin this roll-up model.
The company has initiated its forecourt consolidation with the acquisition of a former Sainsbury’s petrol filling station in Coventry and the purchase of Gardner Retail Ltd’s six-site portfolio near Cheltenham, funded by a £20.75 million equity raise. It has also agreed to acquire D.A. Roberts Fuels Ltd, and is now focused on early-stage integration, working with existing site teams to boost fuel sales, improve efficiency, and capitalise on favourable M&A conditions in a fragmented UK market to drive future value creation.
The most recent analyst rating on (GB:ROAD) stock is a Sell with a £61.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on The Barkby Group PLC stock, see the GB:ROAD Stock Forecast page.
