This may have been discussed in another thread, but I didn't see it.

Recently I was playing a game and at the end one objective was held by my genestealers, but they were under half strength. I was under the impression that troops were only scoring units if there was still 50% or more of them left. But when we checked the rules it simply states that troops are scoring units, it didn't state anything about a percentage needed. So does this mean that even if there is only one model left from a squad it can still claim an objective?

Yes, one model is enough.

Yup, it was 50% in 4ed. It's just one model now...

The one model still counting makes up for the fact that it's only troops that are scoring units now. And reportedly makes people take troops choices instead of cookiecutter 2 minimum troops + all the best elites you have.

Yes, the change from 4th to 5th means that Only Troops are scoring, but are scoring down to the Last man
