Savills stock rises 2.56 percent as profit climbs 47 percent

Savills stock was trading at GBp 1,042.00 on the London Stock Exchange on September 28, 2026, up 2.56 percent from the prior close of GBp 1,016.00. The move comes against a stronger first half, with underlying profit before tax rising 47 percent to GBP 34.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026.

Profit growth strengthens the story

Savills reports group revenue of GBP 1.23 billion, underlying earnings per share of 17.9 pence and net assets of GBP 753.6 million for the half year ended June 30, 2026. The figures give the current share move a company-specific foundation rather than leaving the stock dependent on property-market sentiment alone.

The earnings call shows underlying EBITDA up 32 percent to GBP 74 million, while less transactional revenue rose 6 percent to GBP 776 million. That recurring and management-oriented activity represented 63 percent of group revenue, a useful counterweight to the more volatile transaction businesses.

Eastdil adds scale and execution risk

Eastdil Secured joined Savills on July 31, 2026, and the enlarged group will include five months of Eastdil contribution in its full-year figures. Yahoo Finance reports that management left its full-year 2026 expectations unchanged, while noting that transaction timing remains difficult to predict.

The same call identified a GBP 800 million bridge facility used to facilitate the acquisition, with GBP 450 million already refinanced and the remaining GBP 350 million expected to be refinanced within 12 months. Management also expects net debt to EBITDA of 1.5 times or less by year-end 2026, making integration and cash generation important measures for the second half.

Stock remains below the analyst target

MarketBeat reported on August 14, 2026, that Berenberg reaffirmed a Buy rating and a 1,375p price target, while Deutsche Bank set a 1,343p target. Against the September 28, 2026, price of GBp 1,042.00, the Berenberg target places the share price 24.22 percent below the target.
