Mortgage Advice Bureau (MAB) lowered its profit forecast for 2026 to about £38 million from the expected £43.4 million due to a weaker-than-expected UK housing market recovery and delayed growth in its lead generation business, Fluent. UK home purchase transactions dropped 3% in early 2026, and mortgage approvals fell 15% year-on-year in July. Despite the downgrade, MAB still expects a 5% profit increase over 2025 and is focusing on automation and upcoming fixed-rate mortgage maturities as growth opportunities. Broker Peel Hunt maintained a 'buy' rating but reduced the price target to 1,000p from 1,250p.
