Wynnstay Group plc (LSE:WYN) has issued a robust year-end trading update for the period to 31 October 2025, reflecting the positive impact of Project Genesis. The initiative has sharpened commercial execution, strengthened pricing discipline, and improved margins—resulting in adjusted profit before tax of around £9.0m, ahead of market expectations. The Feed & Grain division posted higher profitability despite softer volumes, while the Arable segment benefited from increased fertiliser and seed activity. Retail sales held steady, and disciplined cost management supported improved net margins.
Wynnstay has also completed key integration and asset review measures, including consolidating trading operations and closing select facilities—steps that have reduced costs and streamlined the business. Although these actions carried some one-off expenses, the group ends the year with a strong cash position that supports future investment. The company notes that the HSE investigation into the January 2025 fatality remains ongoing.
Wynnstay’s outlook reflects solid financial resilience and healthy cash generation, tempered by declining revenue and profitability indicators. Technical trends appear neutral, while a strong dividend yield continues to underpin the valuation. Limited disclosure from earnings calls and corporate events provides few additional signals.
