Volution Group

Volution Group expects earnings per share of around 38.0 pence for fiscal 2026, roughly 4% above market consensus and about 15% higher than the prior year. The driver is improved EBITA margins, which are forecast to reach a record 22.8%. The company anticipates organic revenue growth of about 3%, supported by Europe (5.5–6.0%) and a stable to slightly positive performance in Germany; the UK market is expected to stagnate. Net debt/EBITDA is at 1.6x, leaving room for further M&A activity. » Mere på de.investing.com
