Intertek (ISIN GB0031638363) stood at GBp 5,865 on the LSE on September 23, 2026, giving the company a market capitalization of GBP 8,997,513,098. The latest financing step for its EQT-backed takeover adds a concrete transaction milestone.

Takeover financing reaches lenders

According to Investegate, potential lenders received a Loan ESG fact sheet and questionnaire on September 23, 2026. The documents relate to senior secured term loans intended to partially replace interim facilities for the recommended cash acquisition by Isotope Bidco Limited.

The same announcement says potential noteholders received a roadshow presentation and offering memorandum for proposed senior secured notes. That structure matters because the transaction is moving from an agreed takeover into the debt-financing phase required before completion.

Q2 revenue reaches GBP 1.7713 billion

Intertek's 2026 Q2 financial data show revenue of GBP 1.7713 billion, pretax income of GBP 242.7 million and net income of GBP 134.8 million. Operating cash flow was GBP 206.1 million for the same period, giving the financing process a measurable operating base.

The figures also show the difference between operating scale and equity-market value. Revenue exceeded the company's GBP 8,997,513,098 market capitalization by a wide margin, while the proposed transaction introduces debt financing as a central part of the ownership change.

Price sits 0.26 percent below yearly high

Intertek stock was down 0.09 percent from the prior session's GBp 5,870 on September 23, 2026. At GBp 5,865, it was 0.26 percent below the 52-week high of GBp 5,880 and 66.65 percent above the 52-week low of GBp 3,519.42.

The narrow gap to the yearly high places the market value close to its strongest quoted level of the past year, while the financing documents give investors a dated checkpoint for the proposed change in ownership.
