Solid
Market Research, Marketing Analytics & Advertising Technology

Strategic Profile

Platform revenues accounted for 93% of total group revenues in Q3 2025, with strongest growth in Predict Your data offerings at +57% as the group builds presence in the substantial ad-testing market. The successful shift to a platform-based operation is having a very positive impact on margins, with System1 achieving a 9M25 gross margin of 88%.

Cyborg Score Rationale

Full-year guidance indicates an adjusted PBT of approximately £5m, exceeding market forecasts of £4.4m. Over 120 new clients were won in Q3, contributing to more than a quarter of platform revenues. Strong margin expansion and platform transition momentum offset modest absolute profitability.
