The latest update is out from Trifast ( (GB:TRI) ).
Trifast said it expects underlying EBIT of about £16m for the year to 31 March 2026, in line with market forecasts, despite a roughly 7% revenue decline to £207m as it exited low-margin business and faced weak automotive demand. The company lifted gross margins to about 30% and group EBIT margins to 7.8% through self-help measures, inventory discipline and cost efficiencies, while keeping leverage below 1x.
As part of its Recover, Rebuild, Resilience strategy, Trifast will close its Malaysian manufacturing operations while retaining a sales and distribution hub and planning a shared services centre, redeploying resources toward higher-growth markets such as China and India. Management warned that the Malaysia exit and Middle East conflicts will trim FY27 revenue by around £8m but highlighted a strong commercial pipeline and reaffirmed its medium-term target of EBIT margins above 10%.
The most recent analyst rating on (GB:TRI) stock is a Buy with a £130.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Trifast stock, see the GB:TRI Stock Forecast page.
