Great Portland stock traded at GBp 308.40 on the London Stock Exchange at 1:40 p.m. BST on September 25, 2026, up GBp 3.00 or 0.98 percent from the previous close. The price stood 18.2 percent below its 52-week high of GBp 377.00, putting the central London office specialist's leasing progress against a still lower share valuation.

Credit rating stays at Baa2

Great Portland Estates said on September 10, 2026, that Moody's Ratings had reaffirmed its Baa2 long-term issuer rating and stable outlook after a periodic review. The assessment cited the company's central London office portfolio, record leasing activity in fiscal year 2026, rental growth and financial flexibility.

The rating decision gives the stock a clear balance-sheet reference while the market price remains GBp 68.60 below the 52-week peak. Great Portland's strategy centers on developing, leasing and managing commercial real estate, with fully managed offices adding a service component to the traditional landlord model.

Leasing pipeline reaches City Tower

The latest operating signal came from City Tower. AJ Bell reported on September 24, 2026, that Great Portland had pre-let an initial floor covering more than 4,300 square feet ahead of completion in early 2027. A further floor was under offer, while the company was reconverting 38,000 square feet into fully managed workspace.

The City Tower update matters because it connects the development pipeline with visible leasing activity. Demand from software solutions and artificial intelligence-led businesses was cited as a driver, although the tenant was not named in the report.

Analyst target remains above price

On September 1, 2026, Morgan Stanley raised its Great Portland target to GBP 4.40 from GBP 3.90, according to Investing.com. The same overview listed the Morgan Stanley action as Buy, while other listed research views included Hold ratings.

At the September 25, 2026 price, GBP 4.40 is 42.7 percent above the equivalent GBP 3.084 share price. Great Portland has also scheduled its half-year results for November 19, 2026, a date that will put leasing momentum, development delivery and funding conditions back at the center of the valuation discussion.
