Lords Group Trading PLC (LSE:LORD) reported a 9.6% rise in group revenue for the four months to October 2025, overcoming persistent weakness in the UK housing market and muted demand across several core categories. Within its Merchanting division, like-for-like revenue edged lower, but the business benefited from improved gross margins. The Plumbing and Heating division also saw revenue declines, though recent leadership changes helped stabilise performance. Meanwhile, the newly created Digital division—supported by the acquisition of CMO—recorded its first profitable months and made a meaningful contribution to overall growth. The company expects full-year revenue in the range of £480–485 million and projects adjusted EBITDA of £20–21 million, maintaining confidence in its strategic roadmap despite economic uncertainty.
Lords Group’s outlook remains challenged by declining revenues earlier in the year and a reported net loss, factors that weigh on sentiment. Technical indicators point to continued bearish momentum, while valuation metrics remain weak given the negative P/E ratio. The dividend yield provides some support, though limited earnings-call commentary and few notable corporate events constrain additional insights.
