Galliford Try reported a 24% rise in adjusted pre-tax profit to £55.9 million for 2026, marking its sixth consecutive year of financial improvement. The construction group boosted its dividend by 23.5% and launched a £15 million share buyback, supported by a strong cash position of £259 million and zero debt.
