IN BRIEF: YouGov Barely Affected By Covid-19 As Financial Year Closes

Fri, 31st Jul 2020 13:56

YouGov PLC - London-based research data and analytics group - Trading continues to be in line with the company's expectations as the company closes its full year of trading on Friday. The second half of the financial year saw data products as the standout division, maintaining a strong performance in the UK and US. The company said it has yet to see any material impact of Covid-19 on its trading. The data services division remained steady as a decline in usual project work was offset by an increase in Covid-related research. While some retail clients are delaying their projects due to the pandemic, the group has seen increased opportunity from its technology clients and government work, including on Covid-19 and health-related issues, YouGov says.
