Shares rose 3% after Roke was chosen as the prime contractor for the UK MoD's multi-year STORM missile defence framework, ensuring expected revenue of over £250 million by FY28 and improving Sensors & Information coverage (Investing.com).
RBC Capital Markets started coverage with an Outperform rating and a £5.00 price target, noting Chemring's robust 67.36% gross margin, expected 8% sales and 12% EPS compound annual growth rates through 2030, and strong position in the NATO rearmament cycle (Investing.com).
Sensors & Information segment revenue dropped 12% year-on-year and operating profit fell 26% in H1 2025 because of delays in UK defence spending decisions, marking a significant area of weakness (Investing.com).
Net debt increased to £93.3 million from £75.3 million in the first half, due to heavy investment in expanding energetic materials capacity, and raising leverage that could limit financial flexibility (Investing.com).
A lack of clear timing or funding details in the UK Strategic Defence Review creates execution risk for Chemring's expected growth projects, potentially tempering future expectations (Investing.com).
