The £6bn gaming giant - which entered the FTSE 100 in December 2024 - reported a 10.9% increase in revenue, hitting £332m for the halfyear ending November 30, 2025.

Growth was powered by the company's "core" hobby business, which covers the design and sale of its famous plastic figurines. Sales soared 17.3% to £316m.

This helped profit jump 11.3% to £140m, as net cash reached £112.5m paving the way for future expansion.
