The key takeaway from IG Design’s post-close trading update for the six months to 30 September is that it remains on course to meet the FY26E guidance issued at its preliminary results in July. This outlook is underpinned by an H1 adjusted operating margin of 4.3%, above the full-year guided range of 3%-4%, together with strong orderbook visibility of 91%. Period-end net cash remained positive at $2m despite an outflow of $33m relating to the disposal of DG Americas (DGA) on 30 May this year.
