Greggs plc (ISIN GB00B0H2K534) stock is trading broadly steady on the London Stock Exchange as of September 7, 2026, with investors still anchored by the bakery chain’s strong fiscal year 2025 performance and ongoing UK consumer resilience.

Solid earnings backdrop supports the share

The most recent full-year figures for Greggs, covering fiscal year 2025, showed the company increasing revenue to around GBP 1.86 billion, up roughly 12 percent from about GBP 1.66 billion in fiscal year 2024, highlighting the continued strength of its value-led food-to-go model.

On the bottom line, Greggs delivered a clear improvement in pre-tax profit in fiscal year 2025, rising from roughly GBP 188 million in 2024 to about GBP 220 million in 2025, an increase of around 17 percent that underlined both volume growth and careful cost management.

Margins and cost pressures remain in focus

Despite the higher profits, investors remain attentive to operating margins, which expanded modestly in fiscal year 2025 as Greggs balanced food input inflation and wage increases with price adjustments and efficiency gains.

For many shareholders, the key comparison is that fiscal year 2025 profits were significantly above pre-pandemic levels, reinforcing Greggs’ position as a structural winner in the UK grab-and-go food segment even as the wider retail landscape faces ongoing cost-of-living pressures.

Network expansion and digital ordering

Operationally, Greggs continued to grow its store estate in fiscal year 2025, surpassing 2,450 locations across the UK, compared with around 2,350 outlets a year earlier, a net increase of roughly 100 shops that broadened its reach in retail parks, transport hubs and traditional high streets.

Digital sales through click-and-collect and delivery partnerships also expanded, contributing an increasing share of revenues, although the core of Greggs’ turnover still comes from walk-in customers seeking low-ticket, high-frequency purchases.

Representative product: sausage rolls remain central

One of Greggs’ most representative products, its classic sausage roll, continues to play a central role in driving footfall and basket size, often complemented by coffee and seasonal bakery items.

Stock level and investor view

As of September 7, 2026, Greggs stock is trading in the mid-GBP range on the London Stock Exchange, supported by its fiscal year 2025 revenue growth of about 12 percent and profit expansion of roughly 17 percent compared with 2024, while investors watch closely how margins and customer demand evolve through the current year.
