Kier said in the trading update that revenue and profit for the fiscal year ending 30 June 2026 are expected to be at the top end of analysts' forecasts. Momentum continued in the second half, driven by water projects and contracts in motorway and rail construction as well as large projects such as the new-build HMP Glasgow. The order book rose 8% to £11.9bn, Panmure Liberum kept its buy recommendation, and an ongoing buyback programme (4.7m shares) strengthens the capital base. The share price subsequently rose, hitting a daily high of 238.2p; full-year results are expected on 15 September 2026. » Plus sur de.investing.com
