The £6 billion gaming giant - which entered the FTSE 100 in December 2024 - reported a 10.9% increase in revenue, hitting £332 million for the half-year 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.
