Vanessa Jeffriess’s rating is based on several positive developments within Dowlais Group PLC. The company has shown resilience through strong progress in its strategic initiatives, particularly with GKN Auto’s impressive 11% year-over-year sales growth in China. Additionally, the ePowertrain segment has returned to growth, indicating a positive trajectory for the company.
Moreover, there has been a notable improvement in margins for GKN Auto, despite a challenging market environment and stagnant volume growth. While Dowlais has adjusted its FY25 guidance to the lower end due to factors like lower light vehicle production and foreign exchange impacts, this is seen as a realistic approach compared to other industry players. The company is also navigating tariff challenges effectively, with a significant portion of its operations being USMCA compliant, and recovery expected in the second half of the year.
