The latest update is out from Morgan Advanced Materials ( (GB:MGAM) ).

Morgan Advanced Materials reported a decline in 2025 revenue and profit amid weak semiconductor and European industrial demand, though trading stabilised in the second half of the year. The group maintained its total dividend and delivered stronger cash generation and free cash flow, while net debt rose as it invested in semiconductors and its simplification programme.

Management highlighted that the business simplification programme is largely complete and on track to deliver £27 million of savings by 2026, helping to partially offset margin pressure. The disposal of most of the Molten Metal Systems business and a newly launched strategic review of the Thermal Products division underscore a sharper portfolio focus aimed at higher-margin growth.

The company is rolling out turnaround plans for major sites, group-led procurement and a new ERP system as part of a broader operational transformation. For 2026, it is guiding to modest organic revenue growth and an adjusted operating margin around 10%, with leverage expected to ease once disposal proceeds are received and transformation benefits start to flow through.

The most recent analyst rating on (GB:MGAM) stock is a Hold with a £242.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Morgan Advanced Materials stock, see the GB:MGAM Stock Forecast page.
