Keller Group plc (LSE:KLR) delivered a solid performance in the first half of 2025, outperforming market expectations despite modest year-on-year declines in both revenue and operating profit. The company maintained a healthy 7% operating margin and made substantial progress in reducing net debt, reflecting ongoing financial discipline.
In addition to strong operational execution, Keller completed a £25 million share buyback in the first half and has announced plans for a second tranche later this year—an indication of management’s confidence in the company’s long-term prospects. A robust order book and improved project delivery capabilities underpin Keller’s confidence in meeting full-year expectations, even as potential foreign exchange fluctuations present external risks.
The company’s financial profile remains strong, supported by solid margins and attractive valuation metrics. Although technical indicators currently suggest bearish momentum, recent insider activity and capital returns through share repurchases signal a positive internal outlook, reinforcing investor confidence.
