Can MONY maintain momentum with its first-half results?

Moneysupermarket owner MONY Group (MONY) is due to report first-half year results on 21 July.
Investors will be looking to see whether the price comparison site can continue the strong trading momentum demonstrated in February when the company reported record group revenue of £439.2 million for the year ending 31 December.
Back in May, the company delivered more good news to investors by reaffirming its full-year forecast.
The company expects adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest taxation depreciation amortisation) for 2025 to be in line with market expectations (in the range of £143.1 million to £151.7 million).
The company delivered a robust performance in the first four months of the year in its insurance, money, and home services divisions, with only travel letting the side down due to UK consumer uncertainty and a challenging economic backdrop.
MONY also said recently its £30 million share buyback programme is progressing well with more than £8 million worth repurchased to date and confirmed it is on target to conclude in late 2025.
William Tamworth, co-manager of Artemis UK Future Leaders (AFL) says: ‘[The company] has consistently generated strong cash flows – we estimate a free cash flow yield of 9% – and has a very strong balance sheet. This gives the business options: either to invest, to do M&A or to return surplus cash to shareholders: it’s currently one of the record numbers of small caps buying back shares.
‘We are particularly excited by the opportunity from SuperSaveClub – which now has 1.3 million members. This has the potential to reduce MONY’s reliance on Google and drive greater repeat business.’
