  • Bunzl Shares Down 37% in a Year Despite EPS Growth
    January 25, 2026, 3:34 AM EST. Bunzl plc (LON:BNZL) investors have faced a 37% loss over the past year, while the market returned 25%. The company's share price declined 39% over 12 months and has fallen 14% in the last three months. Over three years, shares are down 31%. Despite the price drop, earnings per share (EPS) rose 0.7% in the same period, suggesting market expectations for higher growth were unmet. Revenue remained steady, possibly fueling disappointment. Insider buying has been noted, indicating confidence within the company. Long-term shareholders have experienced a modest annual loss of 0.3% over five years. Analysts will watch future earnings closely to determine if a turnaround is feasible amid continued share price weakness.
