  • Moonpig shares deemed 'crazy cheap' after full-year results beat forecasts
    June 25, 2026, 11:23 AM EDT. Moonpig Group PLC reported a strong 2026 financial year with adjusted EBITDA of £104.6 million and pre-tax profit of £76.5 million, slightly exceeding expectations. Revenue rose 6.5% to £373 million, driven by an 8.6% growth in its core business and recovery in its Dutch subsidiary Greetz. Despite a 4.5% drop in its Experiences division, brokers Jefferies and Panmure Liberum reiterated 'buy' ratings, citing the shares' attractive valuation with a 9% free cash flow yield. Jefferies noted concerns over slowing growth are already priced in, maintaining a 315p target price that implies 40% upside. Moonpig lowered its medium-term revenue growth outlook to mid-to-high single digits but expects double-digit earnings per share growth, with trading so far aligning with guidance.
