Halma plc (ISIN GB0004052071) traded at GBX 3,672 on September 9, 2026, down 2.08 percent on the session, while MarketBeat put the market value at GBP 13.87 billion and the 52-week range at GBX 3,251.40 to GBX 4,902. The stock also sat below its year-to-date opening level of GBX 3,538, which MarketBeat said meant a gain of 4.4 percent for 2026.

Full-year numbers stay strong

Halma said on its investor page that full-year 2025/26 revenue rose 15 percent to GBP 2,582 million, adjusted EBIT increased 22 percent to GBP 594 million, return on total invested capital reached 16.2 percent, and dividend per share rose 7 percent to 24.74p. The company also said these figures were as at March 31, 2026, which gives the update a clear reporting period and keeps the focus on the latest annual cycle.

That mix matters because the EBIT increase outpaced revenue growth by 7 percentage points, pointing to margin leverage rather than just top-line expansion. Halma also said it aims to grow by more than 10 percent a year over the long term and to double earnings every five years.

Pyxis adds a deal angle

MarketBeat said on September 8, 2026 that Halma acquired US water monitoring specialist Pyxis for up to USD 200 million, a transaction it also listed among the stock's recent headlines. The same page showed consensus rating Hold, a consensus price target of GBP 6,002.95 and only 3 research reports in the past 90 days.

For investors, the combination is clear: a 15 percent revenue rise, 22 percent adjusted EBIT growth and a GBP 200 million acquisition suggest Halma is still using a mix of organic growth and deals to keep compounding. The shares, however, ended the session 2.08 percent lower at GBX 3,672, leaving them below the 52-week high of GBX 4,902.

Stock and valuation

Halma stock closed at GBX 3,672 on September 9, 2026, with MarketBeat showing volume of 2.15 million shares and a market capitalization of GBP 13.87 billion. The stock traded in a 52-week band from GBX 3,251.40 to GBX 4,902, so the latest close still sat in the upper half of that range.
