What the Analysts think about Greencore Group
Analyst ratings (Buy, Hold, Sell) for Greencore Group stock.
Analyst projections of the future price of Greencore Group stock.
Bulls say / Bears say
Fourth-quarter manufactured volumes grew 2.1%, ahead of the wider grocery market’s 0.5%, and Greencore now expects FY26 adjusted operating profit of about £248m, above the £238m analyst consensus. That points to strong trading and improving margins. (Greencore)
Despite the expected fall in debt, leverage is still forecast at 1.8 times, above Greencore’s 1-to-1.5-times medium-term target. At the half year, statutory free cash flow was negative £76m and the group reported a £13.4m operating loss, highlighting the gap between adjusted and reported performance. (Greencore, Greencore)
Input-cost inflation remains a risk: Greencore is expected to face a 3–4% cost headwind in FY27. Passing costs on to supermarket customers may help, but any shortfall in recovery could squeeze margins. (The Grocer)
Greencore recalled five products sold by Tesco and Marks & Spencer over possible Salmonella contamination linked to pistachio ingredients. The recall creates reputational and customer-service risk with two important retail customers, though any lasting commercial impact is not yet established. (Food Manufacture)
