Treatt plc ( (GB:TET) ) has provided an update.

Treatt reported a sharp downturn in full-year performance for the year to 30 September 2025, with revenue falling 11.8% to £132.5m and profit before tax and exceptional items dropping 44.4% to £10.3m amid weak US consumer demand, tariff uncertainty and sustained high citrus prices. Margins contracted, adjusted EBITDA slid by a third, earnings per share and dividends were cut, and net debt rose to £5.9m, partly reflecting a £5m share buyback, but the group emphasised continued strong cash discipline and adherence to its dividend policy. Operationally, Treatt highlighted strategic progress, including a major win for its sugar reduction platform, expansion of sales teams in Germany and France, and the opening of a commercial and innovation centre in Shanghai, followed by a distribution deal in South‑East Asia with IMCD. Post year-end, the company entered a relationship agreement with major shareholder Döhler, after a rival private equity-backed takeover bid lapsed, and the board now sees scope to leverage its underused, well-invested manufacturing capacity to restore profit growth, while carefully managing potential conflicts arising from Döhler’s dual role as key customer and significant shareholder.

The most recent analyst rating on (GB:TET) stock is a Hold with a £277.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Treatt plc stock, see the GB:TET Stock Forecast page.

Spark’s Take on GB:TET Stock

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, GB:TET is a Neutral.

The overall stock score for Treatt plc is driven primarily by its strong financial performance, characterized by consistent revenue and profit growth, and a stable balance sheet. However, bearish technical indicators and slightly negative free cash flow growth weigh down the score. The valuation is favorable with a low P/E ratio and attractive dividend yield, providing some upside potential.
