Analyst projections of the future price of Me Group International stock.
Bulls say / Bears say
Laundry is becoming a stronger earnings engine: in H1 2026 Wash.ME vending revenue rose 16.3% and EBITDA rose 20.9%, making laundry 53.9% of group EBITDA. This shift could reduce reliance on photobooths over time. (ME Group International)
ME Group has fresh routes to scale its laundry estate through its largest-ever laundry partnership with ASDA, with an ambition to install up to 700 machines, and a new Aldi Austria pilot. It is targeting about 1,300 net laundry installations in FY 2026. (ME Group International)
Trading improved after April: May vending revenue was 11.1% higher year on year, including 25.9% growth in Wash.ME, and the company said the positive trend continued in June. It remained on track for FY 2026 profit before tax of £69m–£74m. (ME Group International)
Regulatory changes in Germany requiring passport photos to be taken at citizens’ offices or by certified photographers are weighing on the photobooth business. H1 Photo.ME vending revenue fell 6.2% and its EBITDA fell 8.1%. (ME Group International)
The business remains exposed to travel and consumer confidence: in April, Photo.ME revenue fell 17% and Wash.ME growth slowed to 3%, prompting a more cautious full-year outlook. The company warned that trading could remain soft while geopolitical uncertainty persists. (ME Group International)
Cash generation and liquidity weakened as the group continued investing and returning capital: H1 operating cash generated was £38.7m versus £47.7m a year earlier, while net cash fell to £7.5m from £27.6m. The interim dividend was also cut by 6.5%. (ME Group International)
