NWF Group plc (LSE:NWF) has issued a trading update for its financial year ending May 2025, highlighting performance that slightly exceeded market forecasts despite cost pressures from rising national insurance contributions and increased living wage obligations. A notable development during the period was the acquisition of Pinnock Brothers, strengthening NWF’s footprint in South-East England and driving an 8% rise in domestic fuel volumes.
Strong showings from the Fuels and Feeds segments helped counterbalance underperformance in the Food division. In response, the company has initiated leadership changes and structural adjustments aimed at turning around the Food business in the upcoming periods. Backed by a solid financial foundation, NWF continues to pursue its growth strategy with a focus on strategic acquisitions.
While the company’s growth-through-acquisition model and attractive valuation offer reasons for optimism, challenges remain. Recent revenue declines and operational headwinds are reflected in mixed technical indicators, suggesting a need for cautious optimism.
