Solid State - Defence contract delay affects expectations
The delay of a major contract inevitably has an impact on short-term profitability. Solid State has a strong balance sheet and a growth strategy to develop into a higher value-added electronics components and systems business, as witnessed by the two recent small acquisitions. Post the current hiatus we expect this to drive growth and value creation.

Solid State - Anticipating record adjusted PBT in FY24
Solid State’s trading update affirms the sustained strength in demand throughout H224, resulting in record FY24 revenue and adjusted PBT ahead of prior consensus of £155m and £12.5m, respectively. This is attributable to the earlier-than-expected delivery of a NATO contract. As a result, consensus FY24 revenue and adjusted PBT estimates have been raised by c 6% and c 20%, with respective FY25 estimates declining commensurately.
- Toby Thorrington
Solid State - Returning to trend growth
Solid State has confirmed the strong H124 performance, boosted by a full period contribution from Custom Power combined with the benefit of delivering the NATO contract. Despite the continuing challenges we expect organic growth to resume from the lower trend level of profit excluding the NATO uplift from H224. Following the recent 5% uplift for both revenue and PBT, FY24 guidance and market consensus estimates are unchanged.
