Big Yellow (ISIN GB0002869419) was last at GBp 797.50 on the London Stock Exchange on October 2, 2026, only 0.50 percent above its 52-week low of GBp 793.50. The latest disposal program has generated GBP 81 million in combined proceeds and is shifting the portfolio toward self-storage.
Disposals strengthen the balance sheet
On September 23, 2026, TradingView reported that Big Yellow had contracted to sell its Bracknell industrial estate for GBP 6.3 million. The transaction followed disposals in Harrow and Staines, taking combined gross proceeds to GBP 81 million.
The company operates 115 self-storage stores, while its development pipeline contains 10 proposed facilities with 0.8 million square feet of planned space, according to the same September 23 release published by TradingView. The strategic trade-off is clear: asset sales provide capital while new stores preserve the group's core growth route.
Revenue and profit both rose 2 percent
Big Yellow's investor page reports that fiscal year 2026 revenue increased 2 percent from GBP 204.5 million to GBP 209.1 million. Store EBITDA also rose from GBP 143.2 million to GBP 146.5 million, according to Big Yellow.
Adjusted profit before tax climbed 2 percent from GBP 115.6 million to GBP 117.5 million in the year to March 31, 2026. EPRA adjusted earnings per share rose from 57.8 pence to 59.0 pence, while the full-year dividend increased from 46.4 pence to 47.2 pence, the company said on its investor page.
Stock stays near its yearly low
Big Yellow stock's October 2 reference price stood at GBp 797.50, against a prior close of GBp 798.00 and a session range of GBp 793.50 to GBp 809.50. The session change was negative 0.06 percent on volume of 264,796 shares, leaving the stock 33.99 percent below its 52-week high of GBp 1,208.00.
Investing.com lists November 23, 2026 as Big Yellow's next earnings date. For investors, the next checkpoint is whether the disposal proceeds and store pipeline can support the 2 percent fiscal year growth rate while the share price remains close to its annual low.
