The latest announcement is out from Tribal Group plc ( (GB:TRB) ).

Tribal Group reported a strong finish to 2025, with revenue and adjusted EBITDA expected to come in slightly ahead of upgraded market expectations and a marked swing from net debt to a net cash position of £11.4m, signalling improved profitability, lower capex and stronger cash generation. Demand for its Student Information Solutions remained robust, supported by key go-lives at major UK universities and an improved contribution from its Etio education services unit, while Annual Recurring Revenue rose 11% to £63.3m and contracted ARR grew 14% to £65m, driven by new wins, upgrades and rollout of its Higher Education Full-Service subscription licence. The successful adoption of this subscription model across a large proportion of higher education customers is enhancing revenue visibility, margin resilience and cash flow, and is helping to accelerate cloud migration, leaving the group with a strengthened balance sheet and a solid base of long-term relationships. Against a backdrop of financial pressure on the higher education sector that is increasing demand for secure, cost-effective digital transformation, the board expects continued SaaS momentum and now anticipates adjusted EBITDA and cash performance in 2026 ahead of current market expectations.

The most recent analyst rating on (GB:TRB) stock is a Buy with a £75.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Tribal Group plc stock, see the GB:TRB Stock Forecast page.
