The latest update is out from Dowlais Group PLC ( (GB:DWL) ).
Dowlais Group plc reported that its 2025 trading performance exceeded earlier guidance, with unaudited figures indicating adjusted revenue of around £5 billion, representing 3.1% year-on-year growth at constant currency and 1.3% on a reported basis after foreign exchange headwinds. Adjusted operating profit is expected to be at least £370 million, up 14% year-on-year, driving an adjusted operating margin of no less than 7.4%, an improvement of at least 80 basis points, with both Automotive and Powder Metallurgy contributing to margin expansion. Management attributed the stronger profitability to global footprint restructuring, commercial recoveries from prior volume losses and ongoing performance improvement measures, which more than offset operational inefficiencies at two North American plants. Adjusted free cash flow is forecast to be no less than £100 million, ahead of the prior year, helped by higher operating profit, lower capital expenditure and one-off cash receipts from asset disposals and customer advances, underlining a strengthening cash and operational profile for stakeholders.
The most recent analyst rating on (GB:DWL) stock is a Hold with a £103.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Dowlais Group PLC stock, see the GB:DWL Stock Forecast page.
