FirstGroup boosted as it launches new buyback, confirms revenue growth
FirstGroup PLC (LSE:FGP) shares strengthened, rising 7.7%, changing hands at 188p, after announcing it will launch a new £100 million share buyback after higher revenue, improved earnings per share and strong cash generation underpinned another year of shareholder returns. The UK transport group reported adjusted revenue of £1.72 billion for the 52 weeks to 28 March 2026, up 25% from £1.37 billion a year earlier.
FirstGroup can grow despite rail nationalisation, says broker
FirstGroup PLC (LSE:FGP) can continue to grow despite the UK government's rail nationalisation plans, according to analysts at house broker Panmure Liberum, who said the transport group was replacing lower-quality rail contract earnings with more sustainable sources of profit. Reiterating its 'buy' rating and 260p target price, the broker argued that the market was overlooking the strength of FirstGroup's bus and open access rail businesses.
