Operations: The company generates £52.46 million in revenue from its Plastic and Paperboard Packaging segment.

Market Cap: £19.27M

Robinson plc, with a market cap of £19.27 million, has recently turned profitable, though its earnings growth is difficult to compare due to industry challenges. The company's financial health shows mixed signals: while short-term assets cover liabilities and debt is well managed by operating cash flow (40.5%), interest coverage remains weak at 2.4 times EBIT. Despite a large one-off loss impacting recent results, Robinson forecasts revenue and operating profit improvement for 2025 compared to 2024. However, the dividend yield of 4.78% isn't well covered by earnings or free cash flows, posing potential sustainability issues.
