H1 growth supports the valuation
For the six months ending March 31, 2026, Diploma reported revenue of GBP 851.1 million and net profit of GBP 100.3 million, according to The Globe and Mail on September 10, 2026. The same report cited prior-year figures of GBP 364.25 million in revenue and GBP 47.9 million in net profit, giving investors a concrete comparison for the latest half-year performance.
Analyst expectations also moved higher. According to MarketBeat, JPMorgan lifted its target from GBp 5,760 to GBp 8,250 and assigned an overweight rating on August 24, 2026. The higher target sits 7.1 percent above the September 25 price, although the stock's valuation remains exposed to the gap between strong earnings growth and a price near its annual high.

AskTraders identified November 17, 2026, as Diploma's next scheduled results date. That update gives the market a defined checkpoint after the fresh high and the latest H1 revenue and profit comparison.
