Trading Ahead of Expectations
Peel Hunt, the leading UK mid‑cap and growth company specialist investment bank, today issues a trading update for the year ending 31 March 2026 ("FY26").
Against a backdrop of considerable economic uncertainty, following the completion of recent Investment Banking transactions and a continued strong performance in our Execution Services business, we now expect to deliver full year revenues of over £140m and profits that are materially ahead of market expectations.
The war in the Middle East has increased geopolitical uncertainty, which has pushed energy prices higher and prompted central banks to reassess inflation risks. While the duration and ultimate impact of these developments remain unclear, they are weighing on market conditions and may affect the level and timing of transactional activity. During this period of uncertainty and market volatility, Peel Hunt remains focused on supporting clients, while maintaining disciplined cost management and capital allocation.
The Company intends to publish its FY26 preliminary results on 15 June 2026.
