Gooch & Housego Delivers Robust First-Half 2025 Results and Expands Strategic Footprint

Gooch & Housego PLC (LSE:GHH) reported impressive financial results for the first half of 2025, recording an 11.4% year-on-year increase in revenue and a 91% jump in adjusted pre-tax profit. The company’s recent strategic moves—including the integration of Phoenix Optical and the acquisition of Global Photonics—are set to strengthen its position in key markets, especially within the Aerospace and Defence sector.

Despite the backdrop of ongoing global economic uncertainties, Gooch & Housego continues to maintain a healthy order pipeline. Management remains confident in the company’s ability to sustain profitable growth and is targeting mid-teen returns by the 2028 fiscal year.

While profitability challenges have slightly weighed on its financial performance ratings, technical indicators point to positive momentum. Though a high price-to-earnings ratio may raise some valuation flags, the company’s recent acquisitions and consistent order flow contribute to a generally optimistic outlook.
