Hilton Food raised its full-year forecast for adjusted pre-tax profit to £66–71m, beating consensus expectations. The stock rose about 14.7% to 724 pence. In the first half, adjusted pre-tax profit reached £32.8m on revenue up 15.3% to £2,289.1m. The forecast improvement was supported by the sale of the loss-making Dalco business, a favourable currency environment and operational progress; new production sites in Canada and Saudi Arabia are expected to contribute from 2027. » More on de.investing.com
