Inspecs Group plc (LSE:SPEC) reported a 2.9% decline in revenue during the first half of 2025, attributed to ongoing uncertainties around US tariffs. Despite this setback, the company expects to return to growth in the second half of the year, supported by a healthy order backlog and strategic expansion into new markets. As part of its broader strategic review, Inspecs is negotiating the sale of its Norville subsidiary and is in the process of appointing a new Independent Non-Executive Chair to strengthen governance and operational oversight.
The near-term outlook is challenged by weak financial performance and unfavorable technical signals. The company’s valuation is pressured by a negative price-to-earnings ratio and lack of dividend payouts. Nevertheless, recent corporate developments hint at improved leadership alignment and potential operational enhancements going forward.
