Analyst projections of the future price of GB Group stock.
Bulls say / Bears say
Underlying momentum improved in H2: Identity and Location revenue grew 6% on a constant-currency basis, with EMEA strong and Americas Identity returning to growth in Q4. That suggests the FY26 slowdown may be bottoming rather than worsening. (GBG)
GBG Go had 90 wins and more than 225 opportunities entering FY27, while low-code integration and AI analytics are broadening the product. Management expects the £6m FY27 roadmap spend to add at least one percentage point to FY28 growth, rising to about 2% once commercialised. (Investegate)
The model remains profitable and cash-generative: FY26 adjusted operating profit was £67.5m at a 23.7% margin, adjusted EPS rose 9.3%, and cash conversion was 87%. A £175m revolving credit facility runs to at least 2030, giving the group time to fund the product transition. (Investegate, GBG)
FY27 growth guidance was cut from mid-single digits to 1–3% after higher-than-expected volume attrition among several material Americas Identity customers. GBG says its sales pipeline cannot replace the lost volume within the current year because of normal sales cycles. (Proactive Investors)
Profitability is set to weaken while GBG invests: the £6m Go spend is expected to push adjusted margin down from 23.7% in FY26 to 21–22% in FY27. This leaves less operating leverage if revenue growth stays at 1–3%. (Investegate)
FY26 ended with a £74.5m statutory loss, including a £73.1m goodwill impairment, while net debt rose to £80.1m after buybacks and cash conversion slipped to 87%. That raises questions about past acquisition value and the flexibility to keep investing if the turnaround takes longer. (Investegate)
