Robert Walters ( (GB:RWA) ) has shared an announcement.
Robert Walters reported a 14% year-on-year decline in fourth-quarter net fee income on a constant currency basis, with group performance broadly stable quarter-on-quarter but showing widening regional divergence: strong specialist recruitment growth in the UK, improving trends in Spain and New Zealand, contrasted with continued weakness in northern Europe and softer conditions in parts of Asia Pacific and the Middle East. The group is tightening its cost base, reducing headcount, closing its small Canadian operation and shifting more back-office work into global business services hubs, while net cash of £26.2m underpins a strategy focused on portfolio management and productivity as management plans for 2026 net fee income to come in slightly below 2025 amid uncertain global hiring markets, even as new outsourcing partnerships and fast-growing early-stage talent and consultancy lines provide offsetting growth pockets.
The most recent analyst rating on (GB:RWA) stock is a Buy with a £250.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Robert Walters stock, see the GB:RWA Stock Forecast page.
