What the brokers say
27 May 2026
Cavendish has reiterated its 'buy' recommendation and 50p price target on RC Fornax PLC (AIM:RCFX), the defence engineering consultancy, following first-half results that the broker described as showing a "substantially improved commercial path."
The 50p target implies more than 500% upside from the current share price of 8.2p, reflecting Cavendish's view that the market is not yet pricing in the company's growing framework participation and the structural tailwinds from rising UK defence spending.
The broker noted that first-half revenue of £2.2 million was in line with expectations and 40% ahead of the preceding second half, with an average 22% month-on-month increase in revenue during the period demonstrating rebuilding order conversion momentum.
