Overview: Mha Plc provides financial and business strategy services to enterprises and individuals, with a market capitalization of £393.26 million.
Operations: The company generates revenue primarily from the provision of professional services, amounting to £238.26 million.
Mha Plc, a smaller player in the UK market, has shown mixed performance recently. Despite high-quality earnings and trading at a favorable price-to-earnings ratio of 6.9x compared to the UK's 16.1x, its net profit margin dropped from 36.9% to 23.8%. The company reported sales of £121.31 million for H1 2026, up from £107.2 million last year, but net income fell significantly to £18.05 million from £44.34 million due to rising costs and strategic acquisitions like Baker Tilly South-East Europe Holdings Limited contributing only partially to revenue growth amidst broader economic challenges.

Overview: Science Group plc is a science and technology consultancy and systems business operating in the United Kingdom, other European countries, North America, and Asia, with a market capitalization of £237.73 million.
Operations: Science Group generates revenue primarily from Professional Services (£68.87 million) and Systems - Submarine Atmosphere Management (£31.53 million), with additional contributions from Systems - Audio Chips and Modules (£13.17 million) and Freehold Properties (£3.89 million).
Science Group, a nimble player in the UK market, has seen its earnings soar by 410% over the past year, significantly outpacing the Professional Services industry's 1.7%. This impressive growth is partly due to a notable £24M one-off gain impacting recent financial results. The company seems well-positioned financially with its debt-to-equity ratio dropping from 45.4% to 11.5% over five years and holding more cash than total debt. Trading at about 10.7% below estimated fair value suggests potential for investors, although future earnings are projected to decline by an average of 60% annually over the next three years.
