Senior plc (LSE:SNR) said trading for the year ended 31 December 2025 exceeded earlier expectations, supported by particularly strong performance in its Aerospace division. As a result, the group now expects full-year adjusted profit before tax to come in comfortably ahead of previous forecasts.
During the year, the company implemented targeted cost reductions within parts of its Flexonics operations and completed the initial disposal of its Aerostructures business, generating early cash proceeds. These actions, combined with robust cash generation, have driven a significant improvement in the balance sheet, with net debt reduced to below £80m and leverage falling to under 1.0x EBITDA. In addition, a UK pension buy-in has further reduced financial risk. Management noted that trading in January 2026 has begun positively, reinforcing confidence ahead of the full-year results scheduled for March.
The outlook is underpinned by solid operational execution and favourable corporate developments, including the award of strategic contracts and recent director share purchases, which signal management’s confidence in future growth. That said, market indicators point to some potential downside risks from a technical perspective, while the current valuation suggests moderate pricing and a relatively modest dividend yield.
