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. » Mais em de.investing.com

Volution Group reports a currency‑adjusted revenue increase of 20.1% for H1 2026 (organic +4.2%), driven mainly by the acquisition of Fantech. Adjusted operating margin rose to 22.6%, adjusted EPS increased by 19% and the interim dividend was raised by 18% to 4 pence. Despite the strong numbers, the shares fell about 3.2% after the announcement; management remains optimistic, citing product innovation and capacity expansions but noting supply‑chain, market and geopolitical risks. » Mais em de.investing.com
