Diploma PLC (LSE:DPLM) posted strong results for the financial year ending September 2025, reporting a 12% rise in revenue to £1,524.5 million and a 20% increase in adjusted operating profit to £342.7 million. Organic revenue growth reached 11%, supported by broad-based volume gains across all business sectors, while the group maintained an impressive operating margin of 22.5%. Recent strategic acquisitions in aerospace, defence, and in vitro diagnostics further fuelled performance, and management signalled confidence heading into the new fiscal year. The company also highlighted its solid financial footing — characterised by strong cash generation and low leverage — and proposed a 5% uplift in its total dividend per share as part of its disciplined capital return policy.
Diploma’s outlook remains upbeat, bolstered by robust operational results and favourable technical indicators that point to continuing bullish momentum. Even so, its elevated P/E ratio introduces valuation considerations that slightly moderate the overall picture.
