Morgan Sindall reported another record half-year result for the six months ended June 30, 2026, while its stock stood 27.16 percent below the GBp 5,730.00 52-week high on the London Stock Exchange. The group was trading at EUR 49.75 at Lang & Schwarz on October 5, 2026 at 4:35 p.m. CEST, down 0.90 percent versus the prior close of EUR 50.20.
Profit growth sets the tone
Morgan Sindall reported GBP 2.562 billion of group revenue, GBP 111.5 million of adjusted operating profit and GBP 116.1 million of adjusted profit before tax for the first half of 2026. Adjusted earnings per share reached 186.1 pence, while period-end net cash was GBP 418 million.
The result gives the company a stronger earnings base for the second half. Industrial Briefs reported on September 9, 2026 that adjusted profit before tax increased 21.00 percent year over year to GBP 116.1 million.
Construction and fit out carry growth
Construction revenue rose 18.00 percent to GBP 742 million in the first half of 2026, while operating profit increased 47.00 percent to GBP 24.4 million and the operating margin improved from 2.60 percent to 3.30 percent, according to Industrial Briefs on September 18, 2026.
The housing businesses remain the counterweight in the mix. Partnership Housing operating profit held at GBP 13.2 million despite a 14.00 percent revenue decline in the first half, keeping the group dependent on construction and fit out for its current profit momentum.
Stock stays below its yearly high
The primary-market quote was GBp 4,174.00 on the LSE at 3:39 p.m. BST on October 5, 2026, inside a GBp 3,938.00 to GBp 5,730.00 52-week range. That places the share 27.16 percent below its high, a wider valuation gap than the modest 0.90 percent daily decline in the euro quote. Markets Insider reported on September 8, 2026 that Berenberg maintained a Buy rating and a GBp 5,800.00 price target.
