Science ( (GB:SAG) ) has provided an announcement.
Science Group expects to report a record adjusted operating profit for 2025, ahead of board expectations, driven by a second-half recovery in its Services division, especially in the Medical sector, and boosted by investment gains from first-half corporate activity, which will substantially lift reported profit before tax and earnings per share. Supported by consistently high cash conversion and net funds rising to £61.2 million after returning £14.3 million to shareholders in 2025, the company plans to continue its share buy-back programme in 2026 at a similar scale, arguing that its strong long-term share price outperformance versus UK small- and mid-cap indices highlights a disconnect between its market valuation and operating performance and underpins its capital allocation strategy.
The most recent analyst rating on (GB:SAG) stock is a Buy with a £621.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Science stock, see the GB:SAG Stock Forecast page.
