Henry Boot Sees 2026 Loss Amid Slump

Henry Boot warned that full-year profits will be significantly below market expectations amid macro and political uncertainty, lower land sales at Hallam Land, and higher costs pressuring its housebuilding arm with Stonebridge Homes facing an operating loss. The group emphasizes its low debt and diversified portfolio as a buffer, noting robust occupier demand for its industrial and logistics projects through HBD and a strong planning pipeline, even as it pursues deferred payments and contends with covenant discussions and rising debt.
