S4 Capital Plc (LSE:SFOR) has lowered its financial expectations for 2025, now forecasting a near-10% drop in like-for-like net revenue. The downgrade reflects weaker project-driven income, increased client caution, and slower momentum in securing new business. As a result, operational EBITDA is projected at about £75 million—below prior market assumptions. Management noted that liquidity has improved and reaffirmed its year-end net debt guidance of £100–140 million, despite the softer trading environment.
The company’s outlook remains dominated by financial instability and bearish technical signals. Although its dividend yield and some commentary from the earnings call offer limited positives, these are overshadowed by broader operational and financial challenges that continue to pressure sentiment.
