What the Analysts think about Serco Group

Analyst projections of the future price of Serco Group stock.

Bulls say / Bears say

First-half underlying operating profit rose 9% at constant currency to £157m, while the operating margin improved to 6.2%. Serco kept its 2026 profit guidance at about £300m, around 10% above 2025. (Financial Times)
Defence is a clear growth engine: organic revenue rose 10% in the first half, and Serco won a new $199m US Navy support contract in September. That adds evidence of demand beyond the company’s existing defence work. (Financial Times, Serco)
Serco’s low leverage gives it room to return cash to shareholders: leverage was 0.75 times EBITDA at June-end, and it raised its 2026 buyback to £150m. The interim dividend also rose 10% year on year. (Financial Times)
New business momentum weakened: first-half order intake fell to £2.5bn from £3.2bn a year earlier, and book-to-bill dropped to 100% from 134%. A high pipeline is not a substitute for signed awards. (Financial Times)
Growth is uneven across the group: first-half revenue fell in Citizen Services and was lower in Justice & Immigration, while Asia Pacific and the Middle East also faced declines. This leaves more weight on defence and a recovery in weaker areas to sustain growth. (Financial Times, Kalkine)
Cash generation weakened in the first half: free cash flow was £65m against £91m a year earlier, and cash conversion fell to 74% from 84%. Serco now expects about £160m of free cash flow for 2026, below the £219m delivered in 2025. (Investegate)
