Andrew Douglas has given his Hold rating due to a combination of factors surrounding discoverIE Group plc’s recent performance and future outlook. The company’s interim results for the first half of fiscal year 2026 show a modest increase in sales and order intake, which suggests some positive momentum. However, the growth in OCC sales was minimal, and there are ongoing delays in orders from certain large customers in the US, indicating potential challenges in the near term.
Despite a slight improvement in EBITA margin, the mix was negatively impacted due to the higher-margin Controls segment experiencing delays. Management’s unchanged expectations for the fiscal year, alongside selective investments in sales and engineering, and a small acquisition, indicate a cautious approach to growth. These elements combined suggest a balanced outlook, justifying the Hold rating as the market digests these developments.
