Bulls say / Bears say
Chemring topped the FTSE 250, soaring 6.7% after announcing a record £1.3 billion order book for H1, highlighting strong global defence demand (Reuters).
Growth was driven by the Countermeasures & Energetics division, with revenue up 20.4% and operating profit climbing 73% to £20.4 million, lifting segment margins to 14.4% (Investing.com).
Chemring reiterated its full-year outlook, increased its interim dividend by 4% to 2.7 pence, and repurchased £3.3 million in shares as part of a £40 million buyback, demonstrating board confidence in long-term strategy (LSE RNS via Reuters).
Sensors & Information division revenue dropped 12%, and operating profit was down 26% in H1 2025 due to delayed UK defence spending decisions, dragging on overall group results (Investing.com).
Net debt increased 24% year-on-year to £93.3 million as of April 30, raising the net debt/EBITDA ratio to 0.95 times. This could limit financial flexibility with ongoing capital expenditures and share buybacks (LSE RNS via Reuters).
