What the Analysts think about Bunzl
Analyst ratings (Buy, Hold, Sell) for Bunzl stock.
Analyst projections of the future price of Bunzl stock.
Bulls say / Bears say
H1 2026 was materially stronger, with revenue up 2.9% at constant exchange rates, adjusted operating profit up 8.0%, and adjusted EPS up 11.4%; Bunzl also upgraded its 2026 outlook to modest adjusted operating-profit growth. (Bunzl H1 2026 results)
The North America Distribution business showed encouraging volume growth after operational improvements, while group underlying revenue growth remained positive for five consecutive quarters. This supports the case that the company’s largest business is stabilising. (Bunzl H1 2026 results)
Capital returns and balance-sheet capacity provide shareholder support: Bunzl announced a £500 million buyback, raised its interim dividend by 3%, and reported adjusted net debt to EBITDA of 1.8x, below its 2.0–2.5x target range. (Bunzl H1 2026 results)
2025 adjusted operating profit fell 6.7% and adjusted EPS declined 7.7%, while the operating margin contracted from 8.3% to 7.7%; this indicates that recent earnings resilience follows a period of weaker profitability. (Bunzl annual results)
The H1 2026 margin expansion to 7.3% was partly attributed to inflation, which Bunzl said was expected to be temporary. If inflationary benefits fade, maintaining the improved margin could prove difficult. (Bunzl H1 2026 results)
Bunzl’s acquisition engine remains a risk: only two bolt-on acquisitions were completed in the first half of 2026, while 2025 committed acquisition spend of £132 million was materially below the recent five-year average of about £460 million. (Bunzl H1 2026 results)
