What the Analysts think about Big Yellow Group
Analyst ratings (Buy, Hold, Sell) for Big Yellow Group stock.
Analyst projections of the future price of Big Yellow Group stock.
Bulls say / Bears say
Trading momentum improved in Q1 FY2027: revenue rose 3%, like-for-like store revenue increased 2%, and occupancy growth reached 161,000 sq ft versus 47,000 sq ft a year earlier, with average achieved rent per square foot up 3%. (London Stock Exchange RNS)
Big Yellow has a substantial embedded growth pipeline: 12 stores are under development or planning, with approximately 356,000 sq ft under construction and projected pipeline net operating income of £35 million, equivalent to a stated 16.5% return on completion cost. (London Stock Exchange RNS)
Underlying earnings and shareholder distributions continued to grow in FY2026: adjusted profit before tax increased 2% to £117.5 million, adjusted EPS rose 2% to 59.0p, and the declared dividend increased 2% to 47.2p per share. (Big Yellow Group)
Portfolio occupancy remains the key near-term risk: total closing occupancy was 76.6% in Q1 FY2027, down 2.8 percentage points year on year, while like-for-like occupancy was still 0.2 points lower. (London Stock Exchange RNS)
Operating-cost pressure is expected to intensify before efficiency savings arrive: Big Yellow expects like-for-like store operating expenses to rise 4% in the first half and 3% for the full year, partly because of the 2026 business-rates revaluation. (London Stock Exchange RNS)
The expansion programme increases execution and balance-sheet risk: the £212 million pipeline is expected to be funded within existing arrangements, while management forecasts net debt to EBITDA of 3.5x–4.0x in the short to medium term; the March 2026 CEO transition adds another delivery variable.
