Fortis Frontier PLC

Fortis Frontier PLC (LSE: FORF) is an FTSE AIM All-Share index listed Company offering at-home testing brands including MyHealthChecked and Mylo. Moreover, MyHealthChecked brand offers a diverse range of at-home DNA & RNA tests, and Mylo targets the personalized mobile health market. 

Key Recommendation Rationale – Sell at GBX 9.00

  • Sharp Revenue Contraction and Dependence on a Declining Product Line: H1 2025 revenue fell 44% year-on-year. The failure to replace legacy COVID-19 testing revenue, which contributed £nil, underscores an over-reliance on pandemic-driven sales and a slow transition to a sustainable wellness-focused business model.
  • Gross Margin Deterioration and Unprofitable Scale: Despite an improved margin on sales, the company reported a gross loss. This indicates its wellness operations’ fixed cost base is not being covered by current sales volume, raising questions about the unit economics and scalability of its product portfolio.
  • Persistent and Growing Adjusted EBITDA Losses: The adjusted EBITDA loss widened slightly, marking multiple periods of sustained losses. This trend indicates that cost-control and partnerships have not yet achieved operational breakeven, highlighting a fundamental challenge in reaching earnings positivity even at the EBITDA level.

Conclusion

Revenue collapsed 44% as COVID sales vanished. Despite wellness growth, a gross loss and widening EBITDA deficit persist, proving the model remains unscalable and unprofitable, unable to cover its fixed costs or achieve operational breakeven.

Given its current trading levels, the recent strategic investments and partnerships and associated risks, it is prudent to exit the stock at the current levels. Hence, a ‘Sell’ recommendation is given on the stock at the Current Market Price of GBX 9.00 as of 22 January 2026 at 10:00 AM GMT.
