Hunting stock (ISIN GB0004478896) was trading at EUR 4.57 at Lang & Schwarz on October 2, 2026 at 2:30 p.m. CEST. On the London Stock Exchange, the share stood at GBp 385.00, 30.38 percent below its GBp 553.00 52-week high. The valuation picture combines a weaker chart with a still-profitable operating base.

Half-year revenue reached USD 497 million

For the six months ended June 30, 2026, Finanznachrichten reported Hunting revenue of USD 497.00 million and non-GAAP earnings per share of USD 0.15. The same August 21, 2026 results coverage said Hunting trimmed its full-year EBITDA guidance after lower first-half revenue and a delay affecting Kuwait activity.

That combination matters for investors because the revenue figure describes the latest six-month operating period, while the guidance change points to execution risk in the second half. Hunting operates across precision engineering, well intervention, subsea technology and related energy equipment, with additional exposure to aviation, defense and space.

Buyback supports capital discipline

Hunting repurchased 72,000 ordinary shares between September 14 and September 18, 2026, at a volume-weighted average price of 396.32 pence, according to The Globe and Mail. The planned cancellation reduced issued share capital to 151,774,623 ordinary shares, creating a direct per-share benefit if operating profit is maintained.
