Irish Building Stock News

Kerry Group (ISE:KRZ) has added former Diageo executive John Kennedy to its board as a non executive director and Sustainability Committee member, drawing investor attention to governance, ESG oversight and long term growth priorities. Recent trading has been steady rather than explosive, with a 90 day share price return of 9.5% and an 11.08% share price return year to date, while the 1 year total shareholder return of 13.32% contrasts sharply with a 5 year total shareholder return that...

Ryanair Holdings (ISE:RYA) heads into Morgan Stanley's 14th Annual Laguna Conference after trimming its full year traffic goal and winter flying schedule in order to limit exposure to unhedged jet fuel and curb seasonal losses. That fuel decision lands at a tricky moment for Ryanair Holdings, with the share price at €22.62 and down 23.84% on a year to date share price return. However, the 3 year total shareholder return of 48.49% and 5 year total shareholder return of 41.35% point to stronger...

Glanbia (ISE:GL9) drew fresh attention on 10 September 2026 after announcing a planned CFO handover, with long-serving finance chief Mark Garvey set to be succeeded by Wendy Chang Smith. That leadership update landed during a sharp pullback in Glanbia’s share price. The stock has fallen around 12% over the past month and about 9% over 90 days, even though the year-to-date share price return is up 37.6% and the 1-year total shareholder return is 44.8%. This suggests longer term holders have...

Uniphar reported half year 2026 sales of €1,591.86 million and net income of €19.99 million, alongside basic EPS of €0.077 and a higher interim dividend of €0.0074 per share, paid on 9 October 2026. The combination of higher earnings and a 4.2% dividend uplift points to management prioritising both reinvestment and direct cash returns while pursuing an acquisition pipeline in pharma services and medtech. We will now see how Uniphar's investment narrative is affected by the higher interim...

Greencoat Renewables entered this earnings season with a rich valuation and a reputation as a high-yield, cash generative renewables vehicle. The share price closed at €0.78 on 16 September, only marginally higher over the past week, which signals a cautious reception to the latest figures rather than a rush of enthusiasm. The headline this time is dividend cover and cash generation. Management reported net cash generation of €60m in the first half and net dividend cover of 1.6x, with an...

What the latest results and dividend move signal for Uniphar shareholders Uniphar (ISE:UPR) just paired higher half year sales and net income with a 4.2% uplift in its interim dividend, a combination that can sharpen the focus on income and growth potential. That dividend lift comes at a moment when Uniphar’s share price has been under some pressure in the short term, with the stock falling 6.8% over the past 30 days and 15.6% over 90 days. This is in contrast to the year-to-date share price...

Glenveagh Properties stock has drifted lower in recent weeks, yet today’s earnings story tells you to focus less on the chart and more on the balance sheet strain. Headline profit for H1 2026 was slim at €0.498m on €239.748m of revenue, a sharp contrast with the trailing 12 month net income of €79.754m. The market is reacting to guidance and order book strength, while the real pressure point is rising net debt, which hit €423m at mid year before management’s planned H2 cash conversion. Is...

Uniphar walked into these results with a stock that has slipped roughly 14% over the past three months, and another small step down over the past week. That tells you sentiment was already fragile. Then H1 landed with a different story. Gross profit reached €236.5m and EBITDA came in at €61.1m, with adjusted earnings per share at €0.109. The key plot twist is not revenue. It is the pressure on profitability and free cash flow that collides with a healthcare distributor now heavily funding its...

Greencoat Renewables PLC ( ISE:GRP ) stock is about to trade ex-dividend in 3 days. The ex-dividend date is commonly...

Irish Residential Properties REIT stock closed at €1.108 on Friday, roughly flat over the past month and modestly ahead over three months. The market reaction looks muted. The earnings story is not. The headline is a powerful profit surge built on a one off gain that leaves the shares on a trailing P/E of 7.1x while peers trade much higher. Short term traders might shrug at a quiet price chart. Long term investors are more likely to focus on that mix of strong reported earnings, a discount to...

Kingspan Group plc ( ISE:KRX ) just released its latest interim results and things are looking bullish. The company...

Investors pushed Kingspan Group to €96.10 at Thursday’s close, capping a strong run over the past month. Today’s H1 numbers, however, tell a more nuanced story than the share price alone. Revenue reached €4.86b and trading profit hit €487m, but the real headline is profitability. Kingspan lifted full year trading profit guidance to about €1.125b and is now targeting an 11% margin for 2026. Short term traders may fixate on the recent rally. Long term holders will focus on whether this upgraded...

FBD Holdings walked into this earnings day with a solid recent run, the stock up over 7% in the last three months, yet the real story sits in the profit engine. The headline from H1 is simple. The insurer is converting more of every euro of premium into profit, with net profit margin over the last 12 months at 13.2% compared with 11.1% a year earlier and earnings up 30.6% over that period. For a stock trading on a P/E of 9.1x and sitting well below some analyst fair value estimates, that kind...

Bank of Ireland Group stock came into this earnings season on a quiet grind higher, with a 90 day gain of about 8%, yet still trading on a relatively rich P/E of 15.4x compared with local and European banking peers. That setup meant expectations were already loaded. The headline from this H1 2026 release is margin pressure. Trailing net profit margin has slipped to 28.2% compared with 33.7% a year earlier, even as earnings forecasts and a discounted cash flow valuation signal a very different...

Last week saw the newest half-year earnings release from Kerry Group plc ( ISE:KRZ ), an important milestone in the...
