Computacenter stock (ISIN GB00BV9FP302) was last at GBp 5,350.00 on the London Stock Exchange at 8:22 a.m. London time on September 29, 2026, up 0.38 percent from the GBp 5,330.00 prior close. The company’s September 8 half-year release showed a sharp increase in revenue and profit, while its full-year outlook moved higher.

Revenue reaches GBP 6,845.2 million

According to Computacenter on September 8, 2026, revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2026, rose 71.60 percent year over year to GBP 6,845.2 million from GBP 3,988.8 million. Adjusted operating profit increased 86.50 percent to GBP 153.1 million from GBP 82.1 million.

The improvement was concentrated in technology sourcing and North America. The company reported adjusted diluted earnings per share of 101.9 pence for H1 2026, up 94.10 percent from 52.5 pence in H1 2025, while gross margin declined to 9.6 percent from 12.6 percent as high-volume infrastructure work expanded.

Guidance moves above consensus

Computacenter now expects full-year 2026 adjusted profit before tax of at least GBP 380.0 million. Reuters reported on September 8, 2026, that the company-compiled consensus stood at GBP 340.9 million, giving investors a concrete benchmark for the upgrade.

The order book provides the main operating support for that outlook. Computacenter reported a committed product order backlog of GBP 9.3 billion at June 30, 2026, up 29.50 percent from December 31, 2025, in constant currency. Proactive Investors reported on September 8, 2026, that Peel Hunt retained a Buy recommendation and a GBp 6,000.00 price target.

Stock remains below yearly high

Computacenter’s GBp 5,350.00 reference price stood between a 52-week low of GBp 2,524.00 and a 52-week high of GBp 6,045.00 on September 29, 2026. The session volume was 903 shares at the quoted time, giving the modest daily gain limited weight compared with the company’s half-year earnings reset.

For investors, the central tension is visible in the numbers: adjusted profit growth accelerated, but the gross margin fell by 3.00 percentage points as technology sourcing volumes increased. The next market test is whether the GBP 9.3 billion backlog can convert into profit while the expanded infrastructure business preserves operating leverage.
