Kainos raises FY27 guidance, HgCapital to invest roughly £20m in Nourish

Kainos, a UK IT services provider, raised its FY27 guidance, expecting revenues and adjusted pre-tax profit to come in comfortably ahead of current market forecasts. The company pointed to a strong start to the new financial year, following double-digit revenue growth, strong sales performance and record backlog levels in the year ended 31 March. Management said momentum continued into the opening months of FY27, with digital services as a key driver, supported by major contract wins in the second half of FY26 and additional awards since the year began. Workday Services and Workday Products both posted double-digit revenue growth. Separately, HgCapital said it will invest around £20m in Nourish, a software provider for the UK social and community care sector.
