What the Analysts think about GFRD
Analyst ratings (Buy, Hold, Sell) for Galliford Try Holdings stock.
Analyst projections of the future price of Galliford Try Holdings stock.
Bulls say / Bears say
Adjusted profit before tax rose 24.2% in FY26 and operating margins improved to 3.5%, extending Galliford Try’s run of consecutive annual growth to six years. That points to improving profitability, not just higher turnover. (Galliford Try)
The order book reached a record £4.3bn, with 90% of FY27 and 62% of FY28 projected revenue already secured. This provides useful workload visibility, with 95% of the book in public and regulated sectors. (London Stock Exchange)
Strong cash generation supports shareholder returns: the FY26 dividend rose 23.7% to 23.5p per share, and the company launched a £15m buyback. Average month-end cash was £216.2m. (Galliford Try)
Even after recent improvement, the divisional operating margin was only 3.5%, leaving limited room for cost overruns or project delays to erode profits. Construction results remain sensitive to execution on individual contracts. (London Stock Exchange)
Galliford Try was replaced on Sizewell C’s road package after it and the client failed to agree commercial terms, removing a prospective contract reported to be worth up to about £200m. The disagreement highlights the risk that complex projects do not convert into profitable construction work. (The Independent)
Management expects Infrastructure revenue to moderate in FY27 after major highways projects were completed, while the division’s order book was virtually unchanged at £1.69bn. That could temper a key source of recent growth. (London Stock Exchange)
