Science Group plc (LSE:SAG) reported strong interim financial results for the first half of 2025, with profit before tax rising significantly to £32.2 million. This increase was largely driven by a successful investment in Ricardo plc, which contributed a pre-tax return of £24.0 million.
Despite facing headwinds in its Professional Services Division, the Group’s adjusted operating profit improved, buoyed by solid performances within its Systems businesses. Additionally, Science Group strengthened its liquidity position, ending June 2025 with a robust cash balance of £82.0 million, providing a strong foundation for future growth initiatives.
Looking ahead, the company’s outlook is supported by solid financials and positive corporate developments. However, technical indicators such as an overbought Relative Strength Index (RSI) highlight some short-term risks. Valuation appears fair, though investors should keep a close watch on the performance of Ricardo, given its material impact on the Group’s results.
