Light Science Technologies Holdings plc (LSE:LST) has secured two contracts worth around £450,000 through its Passive Fire Protection division. The agreements cover remediation work at a hotel in Manchester and a school in Birmingham, with scope for further projects across the clients’ wider property portfolios. These wins reinforce the company’s capability to deliver cost-efficient fire safety solutions in line with stricter building safety legislation.
Ongoing reforms to the UK’s Building Safety Regulation are expected to create additional opportunities, as Light Science Technologies engages with both new and existing clients to capture larger-scale projects. Chief Executive Officer Simon Deacon voiced confidence in the company’s ability to navigate current market pressures while meeting the growing demand for its safety-focused solutions.
Despite these operational successes, the company’s outlook is shaped by financial headwinds. While revenues and cash flow are showing improvement, profitability remains under pressure and reliance on debt is high. Technical indicators also point to bearish market sentiment, and the absence of firm valuation metrics adds further uncertainty for investors.
