Bulls say / Bears say

Galliford Try delivered a 24.2% rise in adjusted pre-tax profit to £55.9m in FY26, while its divisional operating margin improved to 3.5% from 3.0%. Profit growth well ahead of 3% revenue growth suggests better contract selection and execution. (RTTNews, Proactive Investors)
The £4.3bn order book is up 5%, with 90% of FY27 revenue and 62% of FY28 revenue already secured. This gives Galliford Try unusually strong workload visibility and reduces the need to chase low-quality contracts for near-term volume. (RTTNews, Proactive Investors)
The group ended FY26 with £259m of cash, no bank debt and an undrawn revolving credit facility. Strong cash generation is supporting a 23.7% increase in the full-year dividend and a new £15m buyback. (Investegate, RTTNews)
Revenue grew only 3% in FY26 and the divisional margin is still just 3.5%, leaving limited room for a single troubled project, cost overrun or delay to damage profits. The 4% margin target is not due until 2030, so the improvement case still depends on several years of execution. (Morningstar, Proactive Investors)
Galliford Try is UK-only and 95% of its order book is with government or regulated clients. That concentration makes future work more dependent on public-sector budgets, water investment plans and the timing of regulated programmes than the headline order-book size suggests. (Proactive Investors, Investegate)
The £259m year-end cash figure may overstate permanently deployable surplus because construction cash balances can move with customer receipts and project timing; average month-end cash was lower at £216.2m. Investors should therefore judge cash quality over a full cycle, not at one reporting date. (The Armchair Trader, Kalkine)
