7 days ago
Results for the first half to 31 March were in line with the group’s expectations, with a modest operating profit and significantly improved net cash.

We have introduced estimates for FY25E that point to improved profitability in H2, based on targeted forward sales being achieved. The medium-term outlook remains ‘robust’, underpinned by attractive rental market fundamentals.
