An update from SIG plc ( (GB:SHI) ) is now available.
SIG plc reported flat like-for-like sales at £2.6bn for 2025 but delivered a stronger operational performance, with underlying operating profit expected to rise to about £32m, supported by £39m of underlying operating expense reductions and improved cost efficiency. Despite weak construction demand and pricing pressure in key markets such as the UK, Germany and Ireland, the company continued to outperform its end markets, gained share in most geographies, and improved free cash flow with a reduced outflow of around £12m and year-end liquidity of £171m, though net debt edged up to approximately £518m and leverage remained at 4.7x. Management has set out a “Vision 2030” framework targeting a through‑the‑cycle operating margin of 3–5%, prioritising further cost and procurement gains, operational leverage as markets recover, and portfolio simplification following the closure of smaller loss-making unit Mayplas, positioning SIG as a more focused growth platform in European building materials distribution.
The most recent analyst rating on (GB:SHI) stock is a Hold with a £9.50 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on SIG plc stock, see the GB:SHI Stock Forecast page.
Spark’s Take on GB:SHI Stock
According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, GB:SHI is a Neutral.
The overall stock score is primarily influenced by financial performance challenges, including declining revenues and high leverage. Technical analysis shows mixed signals with short-term bullish momentum but longer-term bearish trends. Valuation concerns arise from a negative P/E ratio and lack of dividend yield. However, positive corporate events, such as the CEO’s share purchase and strategic leadership changes, provide a boost to the score.
