The latest announcement is out from Trustpilot Group Plc ( (GB:TRST) ).

Trustpilot Group plc reported a strong trading performance for 2025, with bookings rising 22% to $291m (18% in constant currency), annual recurring revenue up 28% to $296m, and revenue up 24% to $261m, driven by broad-based growth across the UK, Europe and North America. The group expects adjusted EBITDA to come in ahead of market expectations, underpinned by accelerating growth in the second half, stronger new business—especially among enterprise customers—and improving gross retention. Cash generation remained robust, enabling $72m of share buybacks during the year and prompting plans to extend the programme by up to a further £10m, signalling management’s confidence in future cash flows. Operationally, Trustpilot highlighted the growing importance of its platform in AI-driven answer engine optimisation and rolled out new AI-enabled fraud detection technology, removing 7.8 million fake reviews to reinforce its core trust proposition. The company also disclosed it is responding to a draft Statement of Objections from the Italian competition authority over an alleged breach of the Italian Consumer Code, but said Italy accounts for less than 5% of group revenue and it does not expect any outcome to be materially impactful. In a further governance move, Trustpilot has completed an audit tender and will propose Ernst & Young LLP as its new external auditor from the 2026 financial year, replacing PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP after a long tenure.

The most recent analyst rating on (GB:TRST) stock is a Hold with a £186.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Trustpilot Group Plc stock, see the GB:TRST Stock Forecast page.

Spark’s Take on GB:TRST Stock

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

Trustpilot Group Plc’s overall stock score is primarily influenced by its strong financial performance, which is offset by bearish technical indicators and a high valuation. The company’s robust revenue growth and improving profitability metrics are positive, but the stock’s current technical setup and high P/E ratio suggest caution. Investors should monitor for improvements in technical trends and valuation metrics.
