Savills plc stock (ISIN GB00B135BJ46) is backed by GBP 34.3 million in underlying profit before tax for the six months ended June 30, 2026, up 47 percent from the comparable period. The latest company filing also disclosed a director share transaction dated October 1, 2026, as TradingView reported on October 2, 2026.

Director transaction sets the latest peg

Rasheed Hassan, Savills head of global cross-border investment, received 2,472 ordinary shares after deferred awards vested. A further 2,204 shares were sold to cover associated tax liabilities, leaving him with 15,753 shares, or 0.009 percent of issued share capital, according to TradingView.

The filing stated that the 2,204-share disposal took place on the London Stock Exchange at GBP 9.993267 per share. The transaction was linked to award vesting rather than a change in the company's operating outlook.

Half year profit rises 47 percent

Savills reported GBP 1.23 billion of group revenue and GBP 34.3 million of underlying profit before tax for the half year ended June 30, 2026. Underlying earnings per share reached GBP 0.179, while net assets stood at GBP 753.6 million, according to Savills.

The earnings mix gives the result a recurring base: less transactional revenue totaled GBP 776 million, equal to 63 percent of group revenue. Underlying EBITDA increased 32 percent to almost GBP 74 million, while underlying earnings per share rose 53 percent in the first half, according to Yahoo Finance.

Eastdil changes the earnings profile

The Eastdil Secured acquisition joined the group on July 31, 2026, so its contribution was not included in the first half. Management said the enlarged group will include Eastdil's contribution from August through December 2026, adding a larger North American capital-markets platform to Savills' existing real estate services business.

Eastdil generated GBP 225 million of first half revenue and GBP 38.4 million of underlying EBITDA before the acquisition. Savills also declared an interim dividend of GBP 0.078 per share, up 5.5 percent year over year, according to Yahoo Finance.

Global real estate platform expands

Savills is listed on the London Stock Exchange and provides advisory, management, transactional and real estate investment banking services across more than 70 countries. The company said its international network includes more than 42,000 staff, while the enlarged group is targeting net debt to EBITDA of 1.5 times or less by the end of 2026.
