Morgan Sindall Group said on Thursday, November 5, that strong trading momentum and secured orders had lifted its expectations for the 2026 financial year. The update, carried by Reuters, also detailed a return of surplus capital to shareholders.

Construction leads the outlook

The Construction division is on track for materially higher, double-digit profit growth, with its operating margin expected at the upper end of the 3.5% to 4.0% medium-term target range. Revenue is expected to progress towards GBP 1.5 billion, while the division also secured positions on all five lots of Pagabo's GBP 5 billion Major Works Framework.

Infrastructure is also expected to deliver double-digit profit growth. Two energy projects supporting the Great Grid Partnership have entered the construction phase, while work continues on planning and design across major frameworks. Fit Out is positioned to deliver a full-year result slightly ahead of the prior year, supported by its order book.

Housing remains the weak spot

Partnership Housing profit expectations were reduced because of low consumer confidence and affordability pressures. Management said the division could benefit from the Government's Your First Home scheme from next year through 2028. Mixed Use Partnerships started seven projects in the first nine months, with three further starts planned before year-end; upfront investment costs are expected to keep the division's full-year result around the prior year's loss.

The group said its outlook for 2027 remained in line with current expectations, citing the breadth of its operations, secured orders and capital discipline. The board also approved a share buyback of up to GBP 75 million, expected to run towards the end of 2027, after average daily net cash reached GBP 400 million between January 1 and November 4.
