Bulls say / Bears say

Forterra’s brick volumes fell only modestly while UK industry despatches dropped 8% in the first five months of 2026. Its emphasis on extruded bricks, which have been gaining demand relative to soft-mud bricks, has helped it outperform the market. (Investegate)
Recent investment in new brick capacity, including the Desford ramp-up and Wilnecote commissioning, could lower unit costs and give Forterra room to benefit if construction demand recovers. Its new brick-slip operations also offer a route to growth beyond standard bricks and housing-led demand. (Investegate, Construction News)
Profitability has held up better than sales: first-half adjusted EBITDA margin rose 0.7 percentage points to 16%, despite lower revenue. Price increases, gas-cost protection and restructuring savings of about £2m a year support the case that management can protect margins through the downturn. (Investegate)
Weak demand is still weighing on results: first-half like-for-like revenue fell 9.3% and adjusted EBITDA fell 9.7%. Management expects second-half demand to be similar to the weak first half and says forecasting remains difficult. (Investegate, Construction News)
Cash generation weakened sharply, with adjusted operating cash flow of £8.5m against £30m a year earlier as inventories rose; net debt was £74.5m. The interim dividend was also cut from 1.9p to 1.7p, signalling less room for shareholder payouts while trading is subdued. (Investegate)
Higher mortgage costs and volatile energy, fuel and transport prices threaten both demand and margins. Forterra has hedged much of its gas use and introduced surcharges, but management says the outlook remains hard to forecast amid geopolitical and domestic uncertainty. (Investegate)
