Greggs stock was trading at EUR 24.91 at Lang & Schwarz on October 8, 2026 at 4:32 p.m. CEST, up 1.05 percent from the EUR 24.65 prior close. An interim dividend of GBp 19.00 is due on October 9, 2026, according to The Mirror.

Three milestones sharpen the picture

On March 4, 2026, Greggs reported fiscal 2025 revenue of GBP 2.15 billion, up 6.80 percent from fiscal 2024, while net income fell 20.00 percent, according to Simply Wall St. On July 30, 2026, first-half revenue reached GBP 1.10 billion, up 7.20 percent year over year, while net income rose 21.00 percent, the same source reported. On September 30, 2026, the third-quarter update showed total sales up 7.70 percent and like-for-like sales up 3.40 percent, according to Stockopedia.

What does the next date add?

The October 9 dividend gives the latest trading picture a cash-return angle, while the January 14, 2027 Q4 trading update is the next scheduled company reporting date. Greggs lists that update in its investor calendar at Greggs. The dividend is unchanged from the prior-year interim payment at GBp 19.00, according to The Mirror.

Sales improved, costs still matter

The key comparison is the acceleration in company-managed like-for-like sales from 2.10 percent in the first half to 3.40 percent in the third quarter of 2026. Total sales growth also reached 7.70 percent, and Greggs retained its expectation of 100 to 110 net new shops for 2026, according to Stockopedia.

The operating story has a counterweight. Greggs proposed consolidating manufacturing operations, a plan that could affect more than 700 roles, while its new distribution centers in Derby and Kettering are expected to increase costs before supporting later growth, according to Sharecast. That makes the 2026 sales trend useful, but the 2027 cost profile remains important for interpreting the improved outlook.
