Andrew Douglas has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors including Rotork plc’s strong interim performance and strategic positioning. The company’s EBITA for the first half of 2025 exceeded expectations, and there was notable growth in sales and order intake, particularly in the second quarter compared to the first. Management expressed satisfaction with the minimal impact of tariffs and the overall performance, which is anticipated to continue into the second half of the year.
Furthermore, Rotork’s strategic initiatives, such as the Growth+ strategy and recent acquisition of Noah, have been successfully integrated, enhancing the company’s market position. The acquisition pipeline remains robust, supported by a strong balance sheet, allowing for potential mergers and acquisitions as well as share buybacks. These factors, along with unchanged fiscal year expectations, support the positive outlook and Buy rating for the stock.
