Gooch & Housego PLC (LSE:GHH) reported solid performance for the financial year ending September 30, 2025, maintaining strong trading momentum despite persistent macroeconomic challenges. Growth was driven by rising industrial revenues, particularly in fibre optic components for subsea networks, alongside increased demand from the semiconductor sector. The Life Sciences and Aerospace & Defence divisions also recorded revenue gains, supported by operational efficiencies and recent strategic acquisitions.
The successful integration of Phoenix Optical and Global Photonics is strengthening G&H’s technological capabilities and expanding its market footprint, especially across North America. Backed by a robust balance sheet and an expanding order book, the company enters the new financial year with a positive outlook and clear growth momentum.
While Gooch & Housego maintains a strong operational foundation, it continues to face profitability pressures. Technical indicators point to moderate bullish sentiment, and the company’s valuation remains fair, though not significantly undervalued. Sustained improvement in margins will be key to unlocking further shareholder value.
