An update from SigmaRoc ( (GB:SRC) ) is now available.

SigmaRoc reported a strong first half to 30 June 2026, with like-for-like revenue up 2.5% to £523.1m and EBITDA rising 11.3%, lifting margins by 200 basis points. Core volumes grew 1% for the first time in three years, driven by improving construction demand and robust industrial and environmental segments, while discontinued low-margin activities weighed on overall volumes.

Profitability was supported by firm pricing, tight cost control and visible synergies from the CRH lime and limestone acquisition, pushing underlying EPS up 12.2% and lowering covenant leverage to 1.66 times. The group secured permits for an additional 64m tonnes of high-grade limestone in Sweden, boosted acquisition firepower with an €825m investment-grade facility plus €300m accordion, and gained an AAA ESG rating, reinforcing its capacity to pursue further consolidation as structural demand from energy transition and European re-industrialisation gathers pace.

The most recent analyst rating on (GB:SRC) stock is a Buy
with a £140.00 price target.

Spark’s Take on SRC Stock

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, SRC is a Neutral.

The score is driven primarily by improving financial performance (notably stronger 2025 profitability), offset by elevated balance-sheet/cash-conversion risk and a clearly weak technical setup (price below key moving averages and negative MACD). Valuation is reasonable on P/E, but lacks dividend yield support.
