Volution Group plc — Cyborg Score 8/10

Strategic Profile

In FY 2025, Volution delivered a 21% increase in revenue to £419 million, with adjusted operating profit up 19.7% year on year to £93.4 million. Volution's growth strategy rests on three pillars — organic expansion, value-adding acquisitions, and operational excellence. Long-term demand for ventilation solutions is supported by decarbonisation goals, stricter energy-efficiency standards, and heightened awareness of indoor air quality.

Cyborg Score Rationale

EBIT margin above 20%; strong balance sheet with minimal net debt. Dividend up 20%, fourth consecutive year of double-digit growth. Management expects double-digit growth again in FY 2026, supported by regulatory tailwinds in energy efficiency and healthy buildings, as well as continued integration of recent bolt-on acquisitions.
