Balfour Beatty (LSE:BBY) reported a robust trading performance for 2025, noting a 20% increase in its order book, supported by ongoing strength in UK Construction and new power-generation contracts. The group expects full-year revenue to grow by more than 5%, alongside an improvement in underlying operating profit, even as reduced profitability in its US Construction division provides a partial offset. The business also delivered key operational achievements across the UK, the US, and Asia, and confirmed plans to continue its share buyback programme into 2026 as part of its broader commitment to enhancing shareholder returns.
The company’s outlook reflects the benefit of a record order pipeline and disciplined capital allocation. Although technical indicators currently suggest a bearish price trend, the valuation appears reasonable. Softness in U.S. Civils and Infrastructure Investments tempers the otherwise positive momentum.
