An update from Robert Walters ( (GB:RWA) ) is now available.
Robert Walters reported a 14% constant-currency decline in net fee income to £274.2m for 2025 and swung to a £14.9m operating loss, hit by cautious hiring sentiment and restructuring charges, leading the board to suspend the dividend to preserve balance sheet strength. Specialist recruitment, which generates the bulk of fees, fell across most regions except the UK, while recruitment outsourcing also declined due to non-renewed contracts, though retained-client income proved more resilient.
Management accelerated cost-cutting and structural changes, reducing the monthly cost run rate below £24m and lifting its 2027 structural savings target to at least £12m, while pushing geographic penetration and service-line diversification, including fast-growing consultancy and talent advisory units. Despite expecting 2026 net fees to be slightly below 2025 amid ongoing market volatility, the company highlights improving trends in markets such as the UK, Spain and New Zealand and is prioritising portfolio management and cross-selling to reinforce its positioning as a comprehensive talent solutions business.
The most recent analyst rating on (GB:RWA) stock is a Hold with a £124.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Robert Walters stock, see the GB:RWA Stock Forecast page.
