Halma PLC raised its adjusted EBIT margin guidance for fiscal 2027 to 23.5-24.0%, up from 22.7%, leading UBS to increase its price target to 5,000p and Panmure Liberum to raise forecasts while keeping a 4,620p target. Both brokers kept their buy ratings after Halma's strong first-half trading update, which showed order intake ahead of revenue and last year. The margin upgrade reflects operational efficiency, favorable product mix, and acquisition contributions, with Halma investing £515 million in six acquisitions this year. Half-year results are expected on 19 November 2026.
