Marks Electrical

Marks Electrical recorded an 8% revenue decline in fiscal 2026 and adjusted earnings per share of 0.67 pence (prior year 1.54 pence). The company attributed the decline and lower margins to a reduction in low-margin marketplace activities, headcount reductions in sales and lower advertising spend. Marks Electrical has completed a CMA investigation and is paying a £0.7m fine and £0.6m in consumer redress. For 2027 the company expects challenges to revenue growth due to the weak UK economy but sees operational improvements and cost savings supporting adjusted EBITDA. » More on de.investing.com
