Analyst projections of the future price of NCC Group stock.
Bulls say / Bears say
Cyber is showing improving operating momentum: H1 Cyber revenue rose 5.9% at constant currency, gross margin reached a record 38.4%, and adjusted EBITDA increased 130.6% to £8.3m. (London Stock Exchange RNS)
The Escode sale leaves NCC focused as a pure-play cyber business with about £230m of net cash. The board intends to return £185m through a tender offer and buy-back, while retaining cash for a resilient balance sheet. (London Stock Exchange RNS, NCC Group)
Managed Services grew 4.7% to £40m, and Consulting and Managed Services together now account for 55% of cyber revenue. This growing mix of managed work could make the business less reliant on one-off consulting projects. (London Stock Exchange RNS)
North American cyber revenue fell 11.3% at constant currency, driven by lower Technical Assurance Services revenue from large technology clients. This weakness and client concentration could offset growth in the UK and APAC. (London Stock Exchange RNS)
The near-term growth and margin outlook remains modest: NCC expects mid-to-low single-digit cyber revenue growth and a 5.5%–7.5% adjusted EBITDA margin for FY26. Its mid-teens margin goal by FY28 depends on delivering about £25m of cost savings. (London Stock Exchange RNS)
Selling Escode removes a substantial earnings contributor and diversifier: it generated £15.2m of H1 adjusted EBITDA, compared with £8.3m for Cyber including central costs. The remaining business is therefore more exposed to cyber demand and project timing. (London Stock Exchange RNS)
