Clarkson PLC (LSE:CKN) shares climbed nearly 5%, adding 195p to 4,180p, on Friday after it told investors that its underlying profit before tax for the year ended 31 December 2025 is now expected to be not less than £90 million.
This reflects stronger results in the second half of the year, it said.
The company noted the figure remains subject to audit, and, no further financial guidance was provided in the trading statement.
Clarkson, meanwhile, confirmed that its full-year results will be reported on 9 March.
