Published on 09/09/2026 at 17:56 | Editorial responsibility: Rafael Müller, Editor-in-Chief AD HOC NEWS
IMI stock (ISIN GB00B1905F76) closed at 3,085.00 pence on September 8, 2026, and MarketBeat put the consensus target at 3,171.67 pence, only 2.8 percent above that level. The latest share data also showed a 0.7 percent gain into the open on September 9, 2026, according to the market summary carried by ad hoc news.
Analyst targets stay tight
TipRanks said on September 9, 2026, that the most recent analyst rating on IMI stock was Buy with a 3,585.00 pence price target. That sits 16.2 percent above the September 8, 2026 quote of 3,085.00 pence and shows how little room the market has left between consensus and the upper end of published targets.
MarketBeat's 3,171.67 pence consensus target on the same reporting day implies a smaller 2.8 percent gap. That narrow spread matters for investors because it leaves valuation more sensitive to delivery on the next reported numbers than to a new rerating.
Latest reported figures
IMI's latest quarterly figures, dated July 31, 2026, remain the operating reference point in the current market discussion, as the September 9, 2026 market summary noted. The same summary said the figures were still shaping valuation and momentum, while Reuters market-wrap context pointed to inflation, energy prices and rate expectations as the broader backdrop for industrial exporters.
The most recent figures visible in the market note are enough to anchor the debate: latest quarterly figures on July 31, 2026, consensus target 3,171.67 pence, and a Buy target of 3,585.00 pence. That combination gives the stock a clear numeric frame even before any fresh company update arrives.
Price around targets
At 3,085.00 pence on September 8, 2026, IMI stock traded below both the 3,171.67 pence consensus target and the 3,585.00 pence Buy target. For the session, that left the shares close to the lower end of the published valuation band and within sight of the consensus line.
