SDI Group plc (LSE:SDI) has issued a trading update for its fiscal year ending April 30, 2025, highlighting a robust second-half performance in line with market forecasts. The company reported healthy cash flow generation and confirmed that its existing debt facilities are sufficient to support ongoing acquisition efforts.
Notable highlights from the year include an uptick in order volumes, the successful rollout of new products, and the completion of key acquisitions—most prominently, InspecVision and Collins Walker.

Despite macroeconomic headwinds, SDI Group continues to benefit from its diversified business model and strategic growth initiatives, positioning it well for sustained progress into fiscal year 2026.
Company Outlook
While the company contends with some revenue softness and technical indicators suggesting short-term caution, its disciplined acquisition strategy, leadership’s continued investment through share purchases, and stable valuation levels contribute to an overall positive long-term outlook.
