What the Analysts think about Firstgroup

Analyst ratings (Buy, Hold, Sell) for Firstgroup stock.

Bulls say / Bears say

FirstGroup reported its full-year adjusted operating profit increased to £223m and revenue grew 7% to £1.4bn, driven by strength in its bus division and expansion of open-access rail services (FT).
The acquisition of RATP’s London bus operations for £90m raised FirstGroup’s London market share to 12%, supporting its strategy to focus on higher-margin urban bus routes (FT).
A £50m share buyback and a dividend increase highlight FirstGroup’s commitment to returning capital to shareholders and bolsters investor confidence (FT).
FirstGroup faces the renationalisation of its South Western Railway franchise under the new Labour government, causing a gradual loss of revenue from its contracted Train Operating Company (TOC) business (FT).
Despite achieving cost savings, First Bus fell short of its margin targets at 8.9% for the full year (excluding London), underscoring pressure from wage inflation and lower government subsidies (FT).
The company has provisioned £38m to cover loss-making contracts in London, which could impact cash flow and dampen near-term profitability (FT).
