Analyst projections of the future price of Chemring Group stock.
Bulls say / Bears say
Chemring’s order book reached a record £1.4bn, up 8%, and covered 91% of expected FY26 revenue by the end of April. That gives the group unusually strong near-term revenue visibility. (Chemring Group PLC)
Roke has secured a US radar-altimeter supply agreement worth at least $170m over its first five years, with an initial $16m order and deliveries starting in October 2026. This provides a sizeable route to grow its defence-products business in the US. (Chemring Group PLC)
A US government award enables Chemring to restart Alloy Surfaces, with a contract ceiling of $300m and minimum awards of $35m a year for the first three years. Deliveries are not expected until early FY28, but the award supports longer-term demand for its airborne decoys. (Chemring Group PLC, The United States Army)
First-half underlying operating profit fell 8% and diluted EPS fell 8%, while the operating margin narrowed to 10.3%. Sensors & Information was a weak spot: its underlying operating profit dropped to £9.6m from £16.1m. (Chemring Group PLC)
Net debt rose to £144.5m from £93.3m a year earlier, and leverage increased to 1.47 times underlying EBITDA from 0.98 times. Continued heavy investment means the new capacity must generate returns before debt and cash-flow pressure ease. (Chemring Group PLC)
About 70% of FY26 operating profit is expected in the second half, leaving limited room for delivery or customer-acceptance delays. The company has also said that UK procurement disruption affected first-half trading, adding uncertainty to the timing of some work. (StockAnalysis, Chemring Group PLC)
