An announcement from Velocity Composites Plc ( (GB:VEL) ) is now available.

Velocity Composites reported audited results for the year to 31 October 2025 showing revenue down to £20.7m from £23.0m but with gross margin improving by 360 basis points to 29.5% and adjusted EBITDA more than doubling to £1.0m, reflecting a better sales mix, operational efficiencies and the completion of its US production facility. Despite tighter cash with a small net debt position following a move from net cash, management remains focused on returning to higher growth as aircraft production rates, particularly on Airbus’s A350 and delayed US programmes, begin to ramp up, while navigating customer production shifts out of the UK by targeting new European and US business, leveraging its VRP-enabled operations, and aiming for enhanced profitability metrics including a 25% gross margin, 10% adjusted EBITDA margin and 25% return on capital.

The most recent analyst rating on (GB:VEL) stock is a Hold with a £15.50 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Velocity Composites Plc stock, see the GB:VEL Stock Forecast page.
