Analyst projections of the future price of Hill And Smith stock.
Bulls say / Bears say
US Engineered Solutions grew 14% organically at constant currency in the first half, helping underpin an upgrade to FY26 underlying operating profit expectations. This gives the group a strong near-term earnings driver. (Hill & Smith)
Electrical transmission and distribution ended June with record order books after strong order intake, while capacity projects are due to start contributing from late 2026. That gives Hill & Smith a visible route to grow with grid upgrades. (Hill & Smith)
Galvanizing Services delivered 11% organic revenue growth and 18% operating-profit growth, lifting divisional margin to 25.6%; US volumes rose 16%. Its strong returns make it a meaningful additional growth engine. (Hill & Smith)
UK & India Engineered Solutions revenue fell 13% organically, and operating margin dropped to 5.3% from 9.6% as roads, industrial infrastructure and residential construction weakened. Management expects UK conditions to remain challenging in the near term. (Hill & Smith)
The US supplied 84% of first-half underlying operating profit and 66% of group revenue. This concentration leaves results especially exposed if US infrastructure and utility spending loses momentum. (Hill & Smith)
Cash conversion was 50% in the first half after a $44.8m working-capital outflow, tying up cash despite underlying profit growth. The expected second-half recovery leaves cash generation as a delivery risk. (Hill & Smith)
