Financials

The highlight of Severfield’s FY24 results was the 14% increase in underlying operating profit despite declining revenue. This gives a clue to the increasing quality of earnings as the company captures future projects and benefits from its internal digitalisation programme, Project Horizon. Furthermore, the Indian JV rapidly improved profit and is expanding capacity to meet growing demand. The balance sheet offers scope for both the £10m share buyback and potential M&A. Our forecasts are unchanged, and we introduce FY27 estimates. The 7.2x FY25e P/E is undemanding.
