What the Analysts think about Balfour Beatty
Analyst ratings (Buy, Hold, Sell) for Balfour Beatty stock.
Analyst projections of the future price of Balfour Beatty stock.
Bulls say / Bears say
First-half profit from the earnings-based businesses rose 42% to £153 million, and Balfour Beatty raised its full-year growth forecast from high single digits to low double digits. That points to stronger trading momentum than previously expected. (Balfour Beatty)
The £22.9 billion order book, up from £19.5 billion a year earlier, gives useful work visibility; the £325 million Netherton grid project adds to its exposure to UK power investment. (Balfour Beatty, Balfour Beatty)
Average net cash guidance rose to £1.5–£1.7 billion, while the interim dividend increased 12% and £102 million of buybacks was completed in the half. This provides scope for continued shareholder returns. (Balfour Beatty)
US Construction returned to profit, but that followed reduced Civils losses and the troubled Texas highway project was still awaiting final close-out. Further project setbacks could therefore put pressure on the recovery. (Balfour Beatty, EarningsCalls.dev)
Infrastructure Investments recorded a £12 million underlying operating loss in the first half and is still expected to make a small loss for 2026 before disposals, despite the end of its monitorship. The division remains a near-term drag on group earnings. (Balfour Beatty)
The group increased its provision for Building Safety Act claims by £9 million after reassessing claims and incurring settlement and legal costs. Further legacy claims could add to costs. (Balfour Beatty)
