MONY preliminary results mark share price improvement

MONY Group has seen its share price increase by over 2% after reaching record revenue and earnings in the year to 31 December.

The money-saving platform provider’s latest trading update comes after its share price fell by over 22% in the last six months.

In the year to 31 December, the firm’s revenue increased by 2% to £446.3m, while its earnings also reached its highest ever amount at £145.1m.

MONY said these increases were driven by strong performances in its money and home services divisions, despite significant headwinds in its car insurance sector.

In this period, operating costs dropped by 4% year-on-year, which the firm stated reflected "continued robust cost management".

The board has proposed a finial dividend of 9.3 pence per share, bringing the total dividend for 2025 to 12.6 pence, which is a 1% year-on-year increase.

Chief executive officer at MONY Group, Peter Duffy, described 2025 as "another year of great progress" in helping households save an estimated £2.8bn.

He stated: "Our flagship member-based proposition SuperSaveClub has grown to over 2.1 million members and shows no signs of slowing, and this loyal, engaged member base is driving meaningful increases in customer lifetime value.

“Our leading data and tech architecture, combined with the power of our brands has positioned us exceptionally well to harness the opportunity of AI, and is powering our momentum as we head into 2026. We've launched new AI-enabled products including Price Optimiser and Savings by MoneySuperMarket, and unlocked a new route to market with the launch of the MoneySuperMarket ChatGPT app.

“This is a business with energy, resilience and momentum that is well placed for continued growth.”

MONY has stated that has completed its £30m share buyback in 2025 and has totalled £96m in shareholder returns across the year, with a further £25m share buyback announced for 2026.

In its outlook, the group said its recent trading performance, coupled with momentum in its strategic execution, gives the board confidence it will deliver its earnings outlook for the year, which ranges between £142m and £153m.

Investment director at AJ Bell, Russ Mould, said that the latest results will provide some reassurance to investors following a "tricky period for the share price".

He concluded: "The move higher in the stock helped to repair at least some of the recent damage, with MONY among those names caught up in the recent wave of selling across software and data businesses on fears of AI disruption. The concern is that artificial intelligence will eat MONY’s lunch. For its part, MONY has to prove that AI can be a useful partner and not disintermediate the business entirely.

"MONY will be leaning on the strength of a well-established brand and its store of data as it looks to maintain its competitive position. Initiatives like the enterprise agreement signed with OpenAI last year and new services being rolled out on ChatGPT do suggest MONY is being proactive and not sticking its head in the sand when it comes to the impact of AI on its market.

"The announcement of a £25m buyback, following on from the £30m programme delivered in 2025, also represented a display of confidence on the part of management."
