Hunting stock (ISIN GB0004478896) was last at GBp 383 on the London Stock Exchange on October 2, 2026, down 1.67 percent from the prior close. The move came after the company reported H1 2026 revenue of USD 497 million and non-GAAP EPS of USD 0.15, according to Finanznachrichten.
H1 revenue sets the baseline
The H1 2026 figures provide the latest reported operating reference for Hunting, whose investor materials describe a precision engineering group serving energy, aviation, defense, power generation and space. The company lists its Half Year Report 2026 in the investor-relations area, alongside its full-year results for fiscal year 2025, as shown by Hunting.
The market is weighing that operating base against the share price. At GBp 383, Hunting stood 30.7 percent below its 52-week high of GBp 553 and 27.7 percent above its 52-week low of GBp 300 on October 2, 2026.
Analysts see room above GBp 383
Analyst coverage remains constructive but not uniform. MarketBeat reports three Buy ratings and one Hold rating, producing a Moderate Buy consensus and an average target of GBp 512.50. That target lies 33.8 percent above the October 2 price, while Berenberg cut its target from GBp 580 to GBp 550 and retained a Buy rating on August 21, 2026.
Canaccord Genuity Group kept a GBp 600 target and a Buy rating in the same August 21 research cycle, according to MarketBeat. The spread between the GBp 550 and GBp 600 broker targets shows that the consensus rests on a range of views rather than a single forecast.
Stock stays below its yearly high
Trading volume was 221,846 shares on October 2, 2026, while Hunting's market capitalization was GBP 557.9 million. The combination of a 1.67 percent daily decline and a price 30.7 percent below the yearly high makes the latest operating figures and the broker target range the two clearest markers for the stock's valuation debate.
Hunting's London listing uses pence, so the GBp 383 share price and GBp 512.50 consensus target are directly comparable. The company remains positioned between energy demand and its diversification into aviation, defense, power generation and space, giving the H1 revenue figure importance beyond a single reporting period.
