Feb 24 (Reuters) - Britain's Unite Group UTG.L on Tuesday warned that annual income would fall in 2026 as the student accommodation provider grapples with weaker demand and slower bookings. The group expects adjusted earnings per share of 41.5-43.0 pence in 2026, down from 47.5 pence in 2025, reflecting lower income from the newly acquired Empiric business and occupancy pressures heading into the new academic year.
