Ashtead Technology (AT.)
Interest will be high when the subsea services firm reports FY25 earnings on Tuesday 17 March. In January, the company revealed H2 trading had exceeded expectations, sending the shares sharply higher.
Revenue is guided at £203 million, up 21% and in line with the latest consensus. However, profit may exceed estimates after synergies from the 2024 acquisitions of Seatronics and J2 Subsea topped company estimates.
By reducing the proportion of low-margin activities, the acquisitions have lifted the group’s overall profits. CEO Allan Pirie said the firm also made ‘significant progress’ in broadening and deepening its customer offering last year.
Curiously, the stock was one of the most shorted by hedge funds late last year. FCA data shows 7.4% of the capital was out on loan in December, but that figure has since dropped to 4%.

Trustpilot (TRST)
Investors already have a pretty good idea what to expect from the online reviews platform after January’s update. That pre-close statement steered towards $291 million in bookings for full year 2025 (to end Dec), implying 22% year-on-year growth (or 18% excluding currency moves).
Beyond that, expect to hear how the £675 million company is growing quickly in all markets, and particularly in the US (circa 20%). ARR, or annual recurring revenue, will be closely watched as a solid guide to future revenues. Also in focus will be the retention rate, which tells us about client churn and hints at upselling successes.
Trustpilot indicated adjusted EBITDA would be around $37 million with a 14.6% margin, although analysts have nudged estimates up to $38.5 million and 14.9% recently.
Also worth watching will be comments on AI developments, ongoing campaigns to pull down ‘fake’ reviews and other bits and bobs. Crucially, what investors want is firm signs that growth and cash generation can be sustained, that’s what likely to get the share price moving higher after an ugly 2026 so far.
Trustpilot will report 2025 results on Tuesday, 17 March.
| FY25E | FY26E | |
| Bookings | $288m | $335m |
| Revenue | $259m | $304m |
| Adjusted EBITDA | $38.5m | $48.5m |
| Adj diluted EPS | $0.05 | $0.066 |

Wickes (WIX)
Investors will be looking for confirmation of continuing market share gains when the home improvement retailer posts FY25 results on 17 March. Cost headwinds persist and the market for big-ticket purchases remains tough. Importantly, bulls will be hoping interest rate cuts will have underpinned a solid start to 2026 for the bathroom taps-to-tool boxes seller.
Led by CEO David Wood, Wickes has already updated on trading for the second half of 2025, which saw volume-led growth across all the business. Group revenue increased 6.3% to £574 million in H2 as the TradePro business continued to outperform. Also, the company’s kitchen and bathroom Design & Installation division also delivered financial improvements.
Looking ahead, consensus calls for FY25 adjusted pre-tax profits in the £46.8 million to £50.7 million range, up from FY24’s £43.6 million. Given its net cash balance sheet, Sharesify believes Wickes could announce a fresh share buyback alongside the results, having completed a £20 million buyback in 2025.
