Gattaca plc (LSE:GATC) has increased its full-year 2026 guidance after reporting stronger-than-anticipated trading within its contract recruitment business during the second half of the financial year.
The specialist staffing group now expects continuing underlying profit before tax of at least £6.0 million, compared with previous guidance of £4.5 million, reflecting improved profitability despite ongoing macroeconomic pressures.
Management said contract recruitment activity remained robust across most of its core sectors, with the majority of the company’s markets delivering year-on-year growth. The performance was supported by tighter operational controls alongside strategic investments implemented in recent periods.
According to the company, these measures are helping sustain trading momentum while reinforcing confidence in its long-term strategy. The improved outlook is also expected to strengthen Gattaca’s position within the specialist recruitment market and provide additional reassurance to investors and stakeholders regarding future trading performance.
The company’s broader outlook is supported by favourable technical indicators and the positive impact of recent corporate developments, although financial performance metrics remain somewhat mixed. Valuation also remains relatively attractive, aided by a reasonable earnings multiple and a solid dividend yield.
