What the Analysts think about Grafton Group

Analyst ratings (Buy, Hold, Sell) for Grafton Group stock.

Bulls say / Bears say

Grafton reported H1 revenue of £1.25 billion, up 10.1% year-on-year (11.1% at constant currency), supported by the acquisitions of Salvador Escoda and HSS Hire Ireland.
Adjusted EBIT increased by 9.5% to £91 million in H1, slightly ahead of consensus expectations, with operating margin steady at 7.3%, demonstrating solid underlying profitability.
The company finalized its £30 million share buyback by cancelling 3.29 million shares (1.67% of issued capital), signaling management's confidence and boosting potential EPS.
Grafton shares dropped as much as 8% following the H1 trading update, which highlighted ongoing external challenges and did not reiterate guidance for the full year, sparking investor concerns.
The UK distribution segment managed only 0.2% like-for-like growth in H1, reflecting continued softness in Grafton's main market due to subdued demand for repair, maintenance, and improvement (RMI).
Net debt increased to £147 million at the half-year mark, surpassing RBC’s estimate of £103 million and raising questions about the company's financial leverage.
