The latest announcement is out from S4 Capital Plc ( (GB:SFOR) ).
S4 Capital reported that its 2025 full-year trading performance exceeded the downgraded guidance issued in November and came in ahead of current market consensus on both net revenue and operational EBITDA, despite like-for-like net revenue declining by about 8.5% and margins settling around 12%. The group also sharply improved its balance sheet, with net debt projected to come in significantly below expectations and leverage reduced to around 1.1 times operational EBITDA, well under its 1.5 times target, and signalled confidence in its trajectory by proposing a final dividend of 1p, while flagging that further work is needed to restore revenue and margin growth in 2026 and beyond as clients navigate an uncertain macro backdrop and the adoption of emerging technologies.
The most recent analyst rating on (GB:SFOR) stock is a Hold with a £19.50 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on S4 Capital Plc stock, see the GB:SFOR Stock Forecast page.
Spark’s Take on GB:SFOR Stock
According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, GB:SFOR is a Neutral.
The score is primarily held back by weak financial performance (volatile revenue, negative profitability, and high leverage). Technicals are supportive with an uptrend, but momentum indicators are overextended. Valuation is mixed due to losses (negative P/E) offset partly by a ~4.5% dividend yield, while the earnings call suggests improving cash flow and debt metrics but continued revenue and margin pressure.
