Gear4music (Holdings) (LSE:G4M) plc has strengthened its market presence through the acquisition of inventory and selected intangible assets from the administrators of GAK.co.uk Ltd and The Guitar, Amp & Keyboard Centre Ltd, in a deal valued at £0.6 million. The transaction excludes the operational business and any liabilities, focusing solely on assets that can complement Gear4music’s existing offerings.
The company continues to deliver strong performance, reporting robust double-digit sales growth across both UK and European markets. Management has reaffirmed its confidence in meeting current market forecasts for the fiscal year ending March 2026, with projected revenues of £153.8 million and EBITDA expected to reach £10.9 million.
Financial and Market Outlook
Gear4music’s financial position remains stable, though overall performance metrics reflect a mixed picture. The stock’s valuation appears high relative to earnings, and technical indicators point toward a bearish trend in the short term. Nevertheless, recent strategic moves—including the GAK asset acquisition—signal potential for long-term expansion, particularly if growth in sales and operational efficiencies continue.
