Hercules Site Services Positive Momentum Continues Highlighted by Equity Development

Hercules Site Services

Hercules Site Services (LON:HERC), a leading supplier of labour to the UK construction industry, continues to demonstrate strong performance and growth potential. Analyst James Tetley at Equity Development provided an insightful analysis highlighting the company’s ongoing success and future prospects in their Q3 update.

Strong Performance Across Divisions

The Q3 update showcases Hercules’ significant achievements across its various divisions. The Labour Supply division, the largest within the Group, reported a remarkable 25% revenue growth in H1, with continued success in Q3. Notably, Hercules secured a place on the Hill Group Preferred Supplier List and commenced labour supply for the Sizewell C nuclear project, bolstered by the opening of a satellite office.

The Civils Projects division also experienced robust performance, securing contracts worth £7.9 million from major clients such as Thames Water and Anglian Water. This division benefits from the substantial investment in the water sector, supported by Ofwat’s approval of a £96 billion infrastructure spending programme for AMP8, ensuring strong demand over the next five years.

Strategic Investments and Training Initiatives

Hercules’ commitment to addressing industry skill shortages is evident through strategic initiatives like the Hercules Construction Academy in Nuneaton. Since its launch in January 2024, the academy has not only positively impacted the local community but has also been appointed as an approved training provider for Gen2 and City & Guilds, facilitating Construction Bootcamps across England.

The company’s innovative approach extends to leveraging technology, with mobile apps designed to source skilled workers efficiently. This dual strategy of upskilling and tech integration positions Hercules favourably to meet the evolving needs of the UK infrastructure and construction sectors.

Positive Market Outlook

The recent government housing and infrastructure plans present a favourable environment for Hercules. As a leading supplier of labour, the company is well-positioned to benefit from these initiatives. Analyst James Tetley noted, “We reiterate our 55p Fair Value estimate and note the attraction of a 4.7% dividend yield, unusually high for a smaller company with Hercules’ growth profile.” This optimism is supported by the construction sector’s improving sentiment, as indicated by PMI readings above 50 for the past four months.

Financial Highlights

Hercules Site Services continues to exhibit strong financial performance. The company reported a revenue of £84.7 million in FY23, with projections of £94.7 million for FY24 and £100.1 million for FY25. The dividend yield remains attractive at 4.7%, highlighting the company’s commitment to delivering value to its shareholders.

In Closing, Hercules Site Services’ consistent performance, strategic initiatives, and favourable market conditions underscore its potential for continued growth. As highlighted by James Tetley, the company is well-positioned to capitalise on government infrastructure plans and industry trends, making it a compelling prospect for investors.
