Games Workshop stock (ISIN GB0003718474) was trading at GBp 16,460 on the London Stock Exchange at 8:42 a.m. London time on October 8, 2026, down 0.48 percent from the prior close. The price sits 30.1 percent below the 52-week high of GBp 23,540, keeping valuation and the next earnings update central to the investment case.

Revenue grew faster than profit

Investing.com reported that Games Workshop revenue rose 10.9 percent to GBP 659.7 million in fiscal year 2026, while operating profit increased 5.3 percent to GBP 275.0 million for the 52 weeks ended May 31, 2026. Profit before tax advanced 5.7 percent to GBP 275.7 million, showing that sales growth translated into a smaller profit increase.

The same fiscal-year report put earnings per share at 624.0 pence, compared with 594.9 pence in fiscal year 2025. Core gross margin improved to 71.1 percent from 69.5 percent, while licensing revenue fell to GBP 32.9 million from GBP 52.5 million after a one-off product release boosted the prior period.

Dividend supports the near-term case

On September 16, 2026, Games Workshop said trading through August 30 was in line with board expectations and declared a 70 pence per-share dividend. That lifted dividends announced so far in fiscal 2027 to GBP 3.00 per share, compared with GBP 2.25 for fiscal 2026.

The dividend will go ex on October 22, 2026, and be paid on November 27, 2026. The contrast is important: recurring core growth and cash returns support the shares, while licensing volatility and the GBP 13 million tariff cost flagged for fiscal 2027 add pressure to future margins.

Analysts see further upside

Marketscreener lists a Buy consensus from 3 analysts. The average price target is GBP 220.75, with targets ranging from GBP 220.00 to GBP 221.50, although the consensus page carries a September 10, 2026 reference price of GBP 175.70 rather than the current LSE quotation.

The next scheduled reporting checkpoint is January 12, 2027, when Games Workshop is listed as due to report first-half fiscal 2027 results, according to Simply Wall St. That date gives investors a defined test for the August trading update and the companys ability to absorb tariff and licensing effects.

Stock remains below yearly high

Games Workshop stock was trading at GBp 16,460 on October 8, 2026, with a 52-week range of GBp 14,280 to GBp 23,540, a market capitalization of GBP 5.4 billion and volume of 3,060 shares. The figures put the current price materially closer to the yearly low than the yearly high while the next results date approaches.
