Galliford Try's Strong Performance Leads to Increased Fiscal-Year Expectations

Galliford Try, the U.K. construction group, has surpassed its own expectations in the first half of the fiscal year, prompting it to raise its full-year forecasts.

Analysts' projections for the year range from £1.435 billion to £1.49 billion ($1.81 billion to $1.88 billion) in terms of revenue, while adjusted pretax profit estimates fall between £25.2 million and £28.1 million, according to a company-collected consensus.

Strategic Targets Update Scheduled for 2024

Buoyed by its recent performance, Galliford Try is confident that it will update its strategic targets up to 2030 in the second quarter of 2024.

Promising Pipeline of Orders

The construction group continues to observe a strong pipeline of orders across its chosen sectors, ensuring a robust outlook for the future.
