What the Analysts think about Capita
Analyst ratings (Buy, Hold, Sell) for Capita stock.
Analyst projections of the future price of Capita stock.
Bulls say / Bears say
Capita secured £998m of contract value in H1 2026, up 15%, while its unweighted pipeline rose to £24.4bn and book-to-bill reached 1.1x. This strengthens the prospect of replenishing revenue as older work runs off, although new contracts take time to convert into sales. (London Stock Exchange Regulatory News)
A five-year Transport for London renewal worth about £425m extends Capita’s road-charging work through 2031 and adds meaningful long-term revenue visibility. (London Stock Exchange Regulatory News)
Capita completed the sale of its private-sector contact-centre business, allowing it to focus on complex back-office services, and is targeting about £40m of annualised savings across 2026 and 2027. The disposed unit generated only £1.6m of adjusted operating profit in 2025, so the exit may simplify the group without removing a major earnings contributor. (ADVFN)
Problems with the Civil Service Pension Scheme contract are a material direct earnings and cash risk: Capita expects a £25m–£40m hit to 2026 adjusted operating profit and a £35m–£50m hit to free cash flow. It has pushed its target for positive free cash flow back to 2027. (Reuters)
The pension service problems are still under scrutiny: the National Audit Office opened an investigation in October, and Capita has acknowledged that service remains below expected standards. Further operational failures could bring more government pressure and harm its reputation with public-sector clients. (The Register)
H1 results showed broader financial strain: adjusted operating profit fell 31.6%, reported revenue declined 1.3%, and net financial debt rose to about £200m by June. That leaves less room to absorb further cost overruns while the business works to restore profitability. (London Stock Exchange Regulatory News)
