Softcat stock heads into the October 14 annual results after the company reported FY25 revenue of GBP 1,458.4 million, up from GBP 962.6 million in FY24. The shares were last at GBp 1,866 on October 2, 2026, on the London Stock Exchange, giving investors a fresh valuation reference before the results date.

Revenue sets the results baseline

Softcat reported FY25 gross profit of GBP 494.3 million, compared with GBP 417.8 million in FY24. Underlying operating profit reached GBP 180.1 million versus GBP 154.1 million, while underlying basic EPS increased to GBp 69.5 from GBp 59.7.

The operating-profit increase was 16.9 percent on the reported figures, below the 51.5 percent revenue increase. That gap points to margin conversion as a key issue for the October 14 update, especially after cash conversion came in at 95.6 percent in FY25 compared with 95.9 percent in FY24.

Analysts see room above GBp 2,000

According to MarketBeat on September 21, 2026, Berenberg raised its Softcat price target from GBp 1,950 to GBp 2,400 and maintained a Buy rating. The new target lies 28.62 percent above the October 2 price of GBp 1,866.

The same MarketBeat report placed the consensus at Hold among eight analysts: four Buys, three Holds and one Sell. The average target was GBp 1,993.75, which stands 6.85 percent above the October 2 price.

That split matters because the company enters the results announcement with a stronger operating-profit base but a share price below its yearly peak. The stock's 52-week range was GBp 1,083 to GBp 2,134, leaving the October 2 price 12.56 percent below the high.

October 14 is the next checkpoint

MarketScreener reported that Softcat's full-year results are scheduled for October 14, 2026. The company also expects high-teens growth in FY26 underlying operating profit and cash conversion toward the top of its guided range of 85 percent to 95 percent.

Softcat stock stays below yearly high

Softcat stock was last at GBp 1,866 on the London Stock Exchange at 4:36 p.m. London time on October 2, 2026, up GBp 10, or 0.54 percent, from the prior close. Trading volume was 401,237 shares, while the session range was GBp 1,850 to GBp 1,885.
