Hi eToro Network,
Reaching out to share some news and thoughts about $SMIN.L (Smiths Group) .
British engineering company Smiths Group Plc. posted results for the first half of the fiscal year today as the key takeaways are:
✔ pre-tax profit of 228 million pounds compared to 171 million pounds in the same period last year
✔ headline profit before tax of 256 million pounds compared to 228 million pounds in the same period last year
✔ profit for the period of 48.7 pence per share compared to 32.0 pence per share in the same period last year
✔ total revenues for the period of 1.608 billion pounds compared to 1.507 billion pounds in the same period last year
Looking ahead:
✔ Company reaffirmed its annual revenue growth forecast of 6%-8%
✔ Company declared interim dividend of 14.23 pence per share, a 5% increase from last year`s dividend. Ex-date: 04 April 2025; Pay-date: 14 May 2025
CEO notes:
✔ Demand for our products is higher
✔ On the possibility of possible listing in the U.S.: "We never say never. We've been listed for over 110 years on the London Stock Exchange. So ... we intend to remain a $UK100 company for now."
✔ On the plans of spinning off the business that makes airport baggage-screening kits and explosives detectors and selling of the unit which supplies electronic components: "The separation processes ... are progressing with pace and rigour"
✔ On future focus: $SMIN.L to emphasize on its industrial businesses as it it had bought a U.S.-based metal duct manufacturer for heating, ventilation & air conditioning (HVAC) applications for 40.5 million $
Personal view:
✔ Financial results and future guidance not extraordinary but solid
✔ Market conditions in which the company operates medical, security and defence, industrial, energy, and aerospace are rather sensitive and some volatility is in the cards, but I rather expect steady growth at least in the mid to long term
Best Regards,
Konstantin
