Trifast plc (LSE:TRI) said trading in the third quarter to 31 December 2025 leaves the group positioned to meet full-year 2026 expectations, despite continued difficult market conditions. Management highlighted ongoing efforts to improve operational efficiency and execute strategic self-help initiatives, maintaining confidence in delivering double-digit EBIT margins over the medium term.
Ahead of the update, analyst consensus projections indicate FY26 revenue of around £214 million, with underlying EBIT of £16 million and underlying profit before tax of £11.6 million, based on estimates from three covering analysts. The company expects to issue a detailed pre-close trading statement in late April 2026, followed by its full-year results in July 2026, which should provide greater clarity on progress toward its earnings and margin objectives.
While Trifast’s financial position remains stable and operational initiatives are supporting performance, revenue growth and cash flow generation continue to present challenges. Recent corporate developments and management’s reaffirmed guidance lend support to the investment case, but technical indicators and valuation metrics suggest a degree of caution remains warranted.
