Galliford Try Holdings PLC {LSE:GFRD} has demonstrated significant momentum in its recent preliminary results, garnering attention from analysts at Panmure-Liberum, who emphasize the company’s progress toward its ambitious targets for 2030. The construction group’s disciplined operational strategy and strong balance sheet are identified as crucial elements that could enable it to achieve these long-term objectives.
Analysts have projected that Galliford’s earnings per share (EPS) could potentially triple by 2030, forecasting figures between 50p and 65p compared to current levels. This optimistic outlook is further supported by the company’s average cash holdings for 2023, alongside its public-private partnerships (PPP), which collectively amount to 208p per share. This assessment suggests that the market may currently undervalue the company's core trading operations, particularly given its current share price of 326p.
While uncertainties surrounding the Infrastructure and Projects Authority's ISG report and the upcoming October Budget exist, analysts believe these developments could ultimately yield benefits for Galliford Try. The company’s substantial cash reserves, totaling £155 million in net cash at the financial year-end, also position it favorably for potential acquisitions, enhancing its growth prospects.
Panmure-Liberum has rated Galliford Try shares as a 'buy,' setting a target price of 415p. The investment bank contends that the market is undervaluing the Building and Infrastructure divisions, an assessment they deem unjustified considering the potential for revenue growth and margin improvement in a relatively low-risk environment. This positive outlook highlights the company's strong fundamentals and capacity for future expansion in the construction sector.
