Latest reported numbers

The most recent operating figures visible in the same-day market coverage point back to the companys latest published period. The article on September 1, 2026, referred to the most recent results set from the first half of 2026, which is the relevant current reporting window for this stock.

Weir Group reported half-year revenue of GBP 1.56 billion for 2026 and adjusted operating profit of GBP 284 million, according to the latest results coverage. That makes the profit margin roughly 18.2 percent, which gives investors a clean yardstick for the current earnings power.

What matters in the business

Weir Group's core work in mining technology and engineered equipment still ties the stock to capital spending and maintenance demand. The share price move, the GBP 7.39 billion valuation and the 2026 half-year operating profit of GBP 284 million together show that valuation and earnings are the two numbers now doing most of the talking.
