Serco Group PLC

Serco Group PLC maintains a capital structure with a debt-to-equity ratio of 1.04, indicating a moderate reliance on debt financing. The company's liquidity position is characterized by a current ratio of 0.93, suggesting limited short-term liquidity cushion. Free cash flow of 290.6 million GBP supports operational flexibility, but net cash is negative after subtracting total debt, signaling potential liquidity constraints. Profitability metrics show a return on equity of 16.67% and a return on assets of 5.21%, which are key indicators of the company's efficiency in generating returns from equity and total assets. These figures should be compared against the industry's preferred metrics to assess relative performance. The operating margin, derived from operating income of 246.3 million GBP on revenue of 4.88 billion GBP, suggests a moderate level of profitability. Geographically, Serco Group PLC's revenue is concentrated in undisclosed regions, as the input data does not specify geographic exposure. The company's business is segmented into undisclosed segments, with no specific details provided on the contribution of each segment to total revenue. This lack of detail limits the ability to assess the diversification of revenue streams. The company's growth trajectory is expected to be modest, with no specific numeric deltas provided for the current or next fiscal year. Historical revenue data indicates a stable revenue base, but the absence of forward-looking guidance makes it difficult to assess future growth potential. Analysts have provided a mean price target of 305.80 GBP and a median price target of 339.50 GBP, reflecting a range of expectations. Risk factors include a medium liquidity risk, as indicated by the current ratio and negative net cash position. The company's dilution risk is assessed as low, with no significant dilution potential identified. However, the presence of long-term debt of 909.3 million GBP introduces credit risk, particularly if interest rates rise or the company's credit rating is downgraded. Recent events, including filings and transcripts, are not detailed in the input data, limiting the ability to assess the company's recent performance and strategic direction. The absence of specific events does not preclude the need for ongoing monitoring of the company's financial and operational developments.
