Simply Wall St Financial Health Rating: ★★★★☆☆

Overview: Tribal Group plc, with a market cap of £90.97 million, provides software and services to education institutions worldwide through its subsidiaries.

Operations: The company's revenue is primarily derived from its Student Information Systems (SIS) segment, which generated £70.08 million, and its Education Services segment, contributing £17.24 million.

Market Cap: £90.97M

Tribal Group plc, with a market cap of £90.97 million, derives most of its revenue from its Student Information Systems segment (£70.08 million) and Education Services (£17.24 million).

Despite negative earnings growth (-27.1%) over the past year, earnings are forecast to grow by 35.84% annually moving forward. However, current profit margins (2.2%) have declined compared to last year (3.1%), partly due to a substantial one-off loss of £4M impacting recent financial results up to June 2024.

Market Cap: £40.15M
