Andrew Douglas has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors, including RS Group’s ability to deliver profit slightly above market expectations despite a muted revenue backdrop. Management’s firm grip on costs, alongside lower-than-anticipated interest expenses, has enabled the company to protect earnings in a tougher trading environment.
He also highlights that, although near‑term consensus forecasts for FY27 profit and EPS are likely to be revised down, the group is actively pursuing a broad set of strategic and transformation initiatives. In his view, this ongoing repositioning, coupled with resilient FY26 performance, provides a supportive foundation for the shares and underpins a positive long‑term risk‑reward profile.
