Company Report

We've Upgraded Our Halma Moat Rating to Wide

Halma’s industry-leading profitability is underpinned by acquiring small to medium-size businesses in niche markets with relatively small total addressable markets. Consequently, Halma enjoys a leading market share in many of its product categories and may only have a handful of competitors in other areas. A strong emphasis on research and development, which accounts for 5% of sales, will allow Halma to maintain its market position through a combination of new product releases and product differentiation.

Bulls Say, Bears Say

Bulls

Most of the group’s markets are underpinned by regulation, which drives durable demand throughout the cycle and thus greater resilience than many other industrial businesses.

Bears

As Halma has grown, its ability to generate 5% profit growth from acquisitions has been inconsistent.
