description: "Jefferies analyst David Farrell maintains a Hold rating on ZIGUP plc with a £410 price target. The stance reflects balanced risk-reward: solid execution and recurring rental growth are offset by normalized disposal gains, year-on-year profit decline, and high leverage. With FY27 expectations aligned with guidance and uncertainty over cash allocation between growth and returns, near-term upside is limited."

David Farrell has given his Hold rating due to a combination of factors, balancing solid execution with limited near‑term upside. ZIGUP delivered slightly better‑than‑guided FY26 profits and healthy growth in rental earnings, underscoring that its core operations and strategy to boost recurring cash flow are working as planned.

At the same time, overall profit declined year on year, with a sharp fall in disposal gains as used vehicle dynamics normalised in key markets, and leverage remains at the upper end of the targeted range. With FY27 expectations broadly aligned with management guidance and a major debate still open around how future cash generation will be allocated between growth and shareholder returns, Farrell sees the risk‑reward profile as balanced, supporting a Hold stance rather than a more aggressive rating.
