Vanessa Jeffriess has given her Buy rating due to a combination of factors including Elementis’s strong financial performance and promising future targets. The company has demonstrated impressive margins, particularly in the Personal Care segment, which achieved a record high. Additionally, the Coatings segment showed resilience despite recent challenges in the sector.
The company’s EBITA for the first half of 2025 exceeded expectations, and its full-year guidance is comfortably above Jefferies’ estimates, providing reassurance amidst recent profit warnings in the chemicals industry. Furthermore, Elementis’s new targets, including a higher-than-expected EBIT margin and attractive cash/ROCE targets, position it as a quality player in the UK Industrials sector. These factors collectively suggest a positive outlook for the company’s stock, justifying the Buy rating.
According to TipRanks, Jeffriess is a 4-star analyst with an average return of 9.8% and a 65.43% success rate.
