Bulls say / Bears say
H1 FY26/27 revenue is expected to rise approximately 8% to £246 million, while management maintained full-year profit guidance and expects double-digit revenue growth for the full year as supply constraints ease. (Investegate)
A.G. Barr reported FY25/26 revenue growth of 4.0%, adjusted profit-before-tax growth of 12.5%, and a 120-basis-point improvement in adjusted operating margin to 14.8%, demonstrating operating leverage and improved profitability. (Investegate)
Core brands are gaining traction: IRN-BRU exited H1 growing ahead of the market in England and Scotland, Rubicon improved through rebranding and innovation, and Boost delivered double-digit growth while expanding into grocery and healthy hydration. (Investegate)
H1 revenue was hit by approximately £10 million of supply-chain disruption, primarily from internal capability and capacity changes plus third-party manufacturing issues; execution risk remains material while the programme is completed. (Investegate)
Management said FUNKIN and Barr Brands were weak in H1, partly offsetting stronger performance from the core portfolio; this indicates that growth is not yet broad-based across the group. (Investegate)
Return on capital employed is expected toward the lower end of the 19–21% guidance range in FY26/27 because of upfront investment and recent acquisitions before they become earnings-accretive, creating near-term dilution and execution risk. (Investegate)
