Melrose Earnings: Strong Profit, but Revenue Outlook Cut Again; Fair Value Estimate Under Review
Wide-moat Melrose delivered GBP 540 million in operating profit, a 42% year-on-year increase, despite lower-than-expected revenue growth due to supply chain disruptions and customer destocking. Melrose has once again lowered its revenue estimates for the midterm, citing a mix of industrywide supply chain challenges, customer production rate adjustments, and specific headwinds hitting key platforms. This marks a continuation of a trend where revenue expectations have been tempered, despite strong profit growth and margin expansion. Consequently, we are placing our fair value estimate for the company under review.
