Northcoders Group (LON:CODE) – Technology Trainer Pulling Back Into Profits

Just two months ago this group’s shares were riding high at 306p, following a very swift ascent from 152p in the middle of June.


Today they are back to 205p and holding steady at those lower levels.


But tomorrow morning will see the technology training group announce its Interim Results to end-June.


The question is whether they will be positive enough to see the shares resume their rise.


The group, which was set up in 2015, operates a hybrid structure with a flagship site in Manchester and other sites in Leeds, Birmingham and Newcastle, supported by a proven digital offering to support its students across the UK.


It is a market leading provider of technology training for businesses and individuals with courses in, Software Engineering, Data Engineering and Platform Engineering.


The group offers ‘boot camp’ courses to individuals from a range of backgrounds, delivered through virtual and physical learning. 


It also works with blue chip corporates across multiple sectors to help them to achieve their digital requirements, with teams as a service and to supply innovative solutions for the upskilling and reskilling of employees.


For the current year to end-December, analysts Nick Spoliar and Charlie Cullen at WH Ireland in late May this year, predicted that the group would return to profitability this year.


Looking for revenues of £8.5m (£7.1m), with an adjusted pre-tax profit of £0.5m (loss of £0.5m), turning into 6.0p (3.0p loss) of earnings.


For the 2025 year they already have estimates out for £9.5m revenues, £0.8m profits, and with 11.2p earnings per share.


After tomorrow’s results will the analysts be confirming their estimates, we will have to wait to see what emerges.
