Mears Group (LSE:MER)
Simply Wall St Value Rating: ★★★★★☆
Overview: Mears Group is a UK-based company specializing in providing management and maintenance services, with a market cap of approximately £0.42 billion.
Operations: Mears Group derives its revenue primarily from its Management (£533.92 million) and Maintenance (£577.93 million) segments. The company's cost of goods sold (COGS) has consistently been a significant portion of revenue, impacting gross profit margins, which have shown fluctuations over time but recently reached 22.52%. Operating expenses are largely driven by general and administrative costs, which were £172.68 million as of the latest period reported. The net income margin has shown improvement in recent periods, reaching 4.28% as of September 2025.
PE: 5.8x
Mears Group's recent financials reveal a mixed picture, with sales dipping to £559.38 million for the half-year ending June 2025, down from £580.04 million in 2024. However, net income rose to £23.75 million from £22.73 million, and basic earnings per share increased to £0.2862 from £0.2363 last year, reflecting operational efficiency despite revenue challenges. Insider confidence is evident as insiders have been purchasing shares over the past few months, signaling potential value recognition within this small European player amidst external borrowing reliance for funding stability and future growth expectations slightly exceeding market forecasts with anticipated annual revenues of at least £1 billion by year-end 2025.

The company experienced fluctuations in its gross profit margin, peaking at 24.64% in September 2023 and dipping to 21.68% by June 2025, indicating variability in cost management efficiency over the periods observed.
