QinetiQ Group plc (GB00B0WMWD03) is trading with a market cap of $3.95 billion and a 52-week range of $21.32 to $31.35 as of August 17, 2026. The ADR page shows an open of $29.75, a high of $30.83 and volume of 656 shares, which gives investors a current read on the stock's position.
What the latest figures show
The most recent reported annual revenue shown in the source set is EUR 1,922.6 million for 2026, after EUR 1,931.6 million in 2025 and EUR 1,912.1 million in 2024. That puts the latest figure 0.5 percent below 2025, while the same source lists EBIT at EUR 122.6 million for 2022.
A separate market snapshot says the group generated about GBP 1.53 billion from EMEA Services and about GBP 393 million from Global Solutions, with FY2026 net income of GBP 107.5 million and a GBP 150 million buyback extension. Those figures point to a business that is still anchored by long-duration defense contracts rather than a single quarter's swing.
Trading context
The stock's 52-week low of $21.32 and high of $31.35 frame the current quote at the upper end of the range, while the reported price-earnings ratio is 28.64 and the dividend yield is 1.61%. The combination of a higher multiple and a modest yield suggests the market is still paying for contract visibility and defense exposure.
On the governance side, Stephen Wadey is listed as chief executive, while Martin Cooper is shown as chief financial officer and Iain Stevenson as chief operating officer. That management backdrop matters because QinetiQ's results are tied to execution across testing, training and technology programs.
Defense technology mix
QinetiQ Group plc operates through EMEA Services and Global Solutions, with technology development and consultancy services spanning defense, security, autonomous systems, sensing, secure communications and AI driven analytics. The business also covers testing and evaluation across air, land, maritime and target platforms, which keeps the product mix broad and contract led.
Market level
QinetiQ shares sit at $29.75 on the ADR quote page, compared with a 52-week high of $31.35 and a low of $21.32. That leaves the stock close to the top of its recent trading band as of August 17, 2026.
