Colonial Motor Company forecasts strong half-year profit jump

The Colonial Motor Company anticipates a trading profit before tax for the six months ending 31 December 2025 to be at least 20% ahead of the previous comparative period ending 31 December 2024. This positive outlook follows encouraging trading results in November, which continued a positive trend noted since the 2025 annual meeting in November.

The company previously observed "green shoots" emerging and confirmed that this positive momentum has sustained, leading to an improved half-year result. While the market's future trajectory beyond December remains to be seen, the company notes it could either continue to improve or merely replicate a better second half of 2025.
