What the Analysts think about JMAT
Analyst ratings (Buy, Hold, Sell) for Johnson Matthey Plc stock.
Analyst projections of the future price of Johnson Matthey Plc stock.
Bulls say / Bears say
Underlying operating profit rose 6% excluding precious-metal prices and currency effects, while free cash flow climbed 163% to £168 million. Management expects further profit growth and improved free cash flow in 2026/27. (Johnson Matthey)
The Catalyst Technologies sale completed for £1.325 billion, with £1 billion of net proceeds earmarked for shareholders. The group has also set an ongoing target of at least £200 million in annual shareholder returns from 2026/27. (Johnson Matthey, Kalkine)
Clean Air still relies heavily on catalysts for combustion-engine vehicles, so faster electric-vehicle adoption would shrink a major market. Hybrids may extend demand, but they do not remove this long-term risk. (AJ Bell)
A slowdown in hydrogen fuel-cell and electrolyser markets led Johnson Matthey to write down £88 million of Hydrogen Technologies assets, alongside further hydrogen-related impairments in PGM Services. That weakens the near-term case for growth from its hydrogen business. (Johnson Matthey)
PGM Services faces higher process-loss provisions, lower metal recoveries and higher maintenance costs at its UK refinery, while 2026/27 capital expenditure is expected to rise to about £230 million to build the new one. Refinery execution and cash demands could weigh on returns, particularly with net debt at £880 million. (Johnson Matthey, Reuters)
