Jacob Armstrong has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors that highlight XPS Pensions Group Plc’s strong financial performance and strategic positioning. The company’s recent trading update showed an impressive 18% year-over-year revenue growth, with significant increases in both Advisory and Administration revenues. This growth is supported by the company’s ability to adapt to regulatory changes and secure new client wins, which enhances the resilience and predictability of its business model.
Furthermore, the acquisition of Polaris Actuaries and Consultants is expected to accelerate XPS’s strategy in the UK Insurance Consulting market, positioning the company for further expansion. The board’s confidence in meeting full-year expectations, driven by disciplined cost management and robust revenue growth, adds to the positive outlook. Despite a relatively full valuation, Armstrong sees potential for ongoing earnings upgrades through continued client wins and regulatory changes, making XPS a compelling investment opportunity.
