Rating:67Neutral
Price Target:
107.00 p
▲(16.30% Upside)
Action:Reiterated
Date:06/16/26
The score is driven primarily by a solid FY2026 financial recovery (profitability and cash flow) and a supportive low P/E valuation. These positives are tempered by historically high earnings/cash-flow volatility and weak current technical momentum (negative MACD and price below key longer-term averages).
Positive Factors
Strong FY2026 revenue and margin recovery
The sharp FY2026 recovery indicates renewed client activity and operating leverage across advisory, capital markets and brokerage. Sustaining these gains would improve the earnings base and support greater resilience over the next several months.
Negative Factors
Highly cyclical earnings history
The recent loss-making period shows that profitability is not yet consistently durable. Because advisory and capital-markets income depends on transaction activity, earnings could weaken materially if UK issuance and corporate mandates soften.
