What the Analysts think about FLS

Analyst projections of the future price of FLSmidth & Co. A/S stock.
Bulls say / Bears say
Q3 order intake rose 36% year on year and organic revenue grew 6%; FLS also raised its expected 2026 adjusted EBITA margin to about 16.5%. That points to improving demand and profitability. (FLSmidth)
FLS aims to build more recurring business by deepening lifecycle partnerships, expanding its service network and reaching more of the world’s largest mines; it targets 6–7% annual organic growth through 2029. A full-flowsheet lifecycle agreement with India’s Lloyds Metals shows this model is already being put into practice. (GlobeNewswire, FLSmidth)
Pumps, Cyclones & Valves could provide another growth leg: FLS raised its 2026 organic growth outlook for the business to 9–11%, while Barclays has pointed to pump-market share gains and strong order growth. (FLSmidth, Investing.com)
The Products business is still expected to shrink organically by 9–13% in 2026, which FLS links to a smaller backlog and persistently low industry investment. That decline may limit group growth even as other business lines expand. (FLSmidth)
Cash generation remains a concern: Q3 operating cash flow was DKK 358m, down from DKK 478m a year earlier, while management said working capital remained elevated and inventories were still being built. That could delay the cash-conversion improvement promised in the new strategy. (FLSmidth, Investing.com)
Service orders fell 2% organically in Q3, according to Inderes, despite service being a large share of sales. If that weakness persists, it could undermine the steadier aftermarket growth that underpins the bull case. (Inderes)
