FALLERS
Localisation, content and IP protection services provider RWS Holdings (LON: RWS) reported a recovery in interim revenues and profit, although current exchange rates are a headwind to further progress. There are 60% of revenues in US$ and the majority of costs are in Euros. In the six months to March 2026, revenues improved 5% to £360m, while an improved gross margins meant that underlying pre-tax profit was one-third higher at £24m. The dividend has been rebased and cut 29% to 1.75p/share. Net debt was £32.5m at the end of March 2026. Full year pre-tax profit is forecast to be around 10% ahead at £66m, which is still well below the 2023-24 level. The figure is held back by an initial loss from the recently acquired AI platform Obviously and the forex headwind. A 16.6% fall in the share price to 85.65p seems to be based on uncertainty about the second half, but trading is in line with expectations.
