Big Yellow sells Bracknell estate and Big Yellow stock falls 2.57 percent

Big Yellow agreed to sell its Bracknell industrial estate for GBP 6.3 million, while Big Yellow stock was trading at EUR 9.48 at Lang & Schwarz on October 1, 2026, down 2.57 percent versus the prior close of EUR 9.73. The disposal is the latest step in a GBP 81.0 million program covering three industrial properties, according to TradingView on September 23, 2026.
GBP 81.0 million from disposals
The Bracknell transaction follows the previously announced sales of industrial estates in Harrow and Staines. The three transactions are expected to provide combined gross proceeds of GBP 81.0 million, giving Big Yellow additional flexibility as it concentrates on its self-storage portfolio.
The company operates a UK self-storage platform, with stores serving households and businesses. The disposal proceeds are material beside the group's annual operating base, but they do not represent recurring storage revenue.
Fiscal 2026 figures rise 2.00 percent
Big Yellow's investor-relations page reports revenue of GBP 209.1 million for fiscal 2026, up 2.00 percent from GBP 204.5 million in fiscal 2025. Adjusted profit before tax increased 2.00 percent to GBP 117.5 million from GBP 115.6 million, while free cash flow was GBP 111.5 million, according to Big Yellow Group.
The earnings profile gives the disposal story a useful counterweight. Recurring revenue and adjusted profit both grew 2.00 percent, while free cash flow was slightly below the GBP 111.9 million reported for fiscal 2025, pointing to modest operating growth rather than a sharp acceleration.
Analyst target moves to GBp 790.00
