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, with more than 95% of FY27 revenue and over 70% of FY28 revenue secured. That gives strong near-term workload visibility. (Investegate)
Recent awards deepen Kier’s foothold in public infrastructure, including the c.£500m Hinchingbrooke Hospital redevelopment and £54m Manchester Airport station upgrade. They add sizeable healthcare and rail work to its pipeline. (Kier Group, Kier Group)
FY26 revenue rose 7.5% and adjusted operating profit rose 6.7%; year-end net cash reached £232.4m and the proposed dividend increased 8% to 7.8p. This points to stronger financial resilience and growing capacity for shareholder returns. (Investegate)
Adjusted operating margin stayed at 3.9% in FY26, below Kier’s 4.0–4.5% medium-term target, while fire and cladding compliance costs rose to £32m from £20m. The narrow margin buffer leaves earnings exposed if costs or project delivery disappoint. (Investegate)
The £232m year-end cash balance masks a much smaller average net cash position of £10.7m; FY26 cash conversion was boosted by working-capital inflows on large projects, which management expects to ease. A change in project cash timing could weaken cash generation. (Investegate, StockAnalysis)
Net finance charges were £34.9m in FY26, and management expects to repay its £250m, 9%-coupon bond only from March 2028. Financing costs may therefore remain a meaningful drag in the near term. (Investegate, StockAnalysis)
