Broker Endorsements Drive Buy Rating Focus

Several major brokerages have reiterated positive recommendations on Mitie Group. Berenberg issued a Buy rating with a target price of GBX 210. Investec Bank (UK) Plc maintained its Buy stance, assigning a target price of GBX 190. Panmure Liberum also issued a Buy rating with a price target of GBX 200, while Stifel Europe reiterated its Buy recommendation with a target price of GBX 210.

These ratings might follow Mitie’s Q3 FY26 update, which reported continued double-digit revenue growth, an expanding contract pipeline and progress on integration following the Marlowe acquisition.

Revenue Growth and Contract Momentum

Mitie reported Q3 FY26 revenue of GBP 1,447m, up 10% compared with GBP 1,314m in the same period last year. Organic growth of 4% was driven by net contract wins, scope extensions and projects work, while acquisitions contributed an additional 6%.

For the nine months ended 31 December 2025, revenue reached GBP 4,124m, representing a 10% increase year-on-year. During the same period, Mitie secured contract wins, extensions and renewals with a total contract value of GBP 4.7bn.

The bidding pipeline rose to GBP 30.4bn, up from GBP 23.7bn at the end of FY25, supported by opportunities across facilities management and projects services.

Cash Generation, Buybacks and Balance Sheet

Free cash flow for Q3 FY26 year-to-date totalled GBP 74m, compared with GBP 59m in the prior year. Mitie continued its GBP 100m share buyback programme, repurchasing 48m shares worth GBP 71m year-to-date, including shares acquired for colleague incentive schemes.

Average daily net debt (post-IFRS 16) stood at GBP 402m, reflecting the acquisition of Marlowe. The Group refinanced its Marlowe bridge facility through the issuance of GBP 180m in US Private Placement notes, extending debt maturities and fixing interest rates.

Outlook and FY26 Guidance

The Group remains on track to deliver FY26 revenue of approximately GBP 5.7bn, operating profit of at least GBP 260m and free cash flow of no less than GBP 120m.

Mitie Group’s latest trading update, combined with multiple Buy ratings from leading brokers, places focus on revenue growth, contract visibility and shareholder returns.
