What the Analysts think about Kier Group
Analyst ratings (Buy, Hold, Sell) for Kier Group stock.
Analyst projections of the future price of Kier Group stock.
Bulls say / Bears say
Kier’s order book rose 8% to a record £11.9bn, securing more than 95% of expected FY27 revenue and over 70% of FY28 revenue. Recent awards, including Hinchingbrooke Hospital, East West Rail and Greater Manchester stations, support management’s confidence in FY27 earnings. (Kier Group)
Infrastructure is becoming the growth engine: FY26 revenue rose 10% and adjusted operating profit increased 16%, with particularly strong water activity. Kier also expanded its framework positions to about £200bn across healthcare, water, defence, energy, education and transport. (Kier Group, Construction News)
Cash generation and financial resilience improved sharply. Operating free cash flow reached £206m, year-end net cash was £232m, average net cash turned positive for the first time in more than a decade, and the proposed dividend rose 8% while a £25m buyback was under way. (Kier Group)
Group adjusted operating margin stayed at 3.9% despite 7.5% revenue growth, so the new 4%-4.5% target still requires meaningful improvement. Construction operating profit fell 19% after £32m of cladding-compliance costs. (Kier Group, Construction News)
Kier remains exposed to construction-cost inflation and delivery risk, particularly on fixed-price work. Management said energy and material prices were rising, even though much of the group’s work is cost-reimbursable or has time to reprice. (Construction News)
The property division remains weak: its operating profit fell 25.4% as wider macroeconomic turbulence delayed transactions. Kier’s decision to stop investing in new property developments reduces future exposure to this weakness but also removes a potential source of growth and diversification. (Construction News)
