What the Analysts think about Smiths Group
Analyst ratings (Buy, Hold, Sell) for Smiths Group stock.
Analyst projections of the future price of Smiths Group stock.
Bulls say / Bears say
Smiths expects about 4% organic revenue growth and a 21% operating margin in FY2027, supported by its order book and further efficiency gains. That would put margins into its 21–23% medium-term target range sooner than expected. (Smiths Group)
The sales of Detection and Interconnect generated £3.3bn of enterprise value and left Smiths with £1.747bn of net cash. The simpler portfolio and planned further £1.5bn buyback give it financial flexibility and a substantial route to return capital to shareholders. (Reuters, Smiths Group)
The £165m DRC Heat Transfer acquisition adds cooling products and exposure to data-centre and power-generation markets. Those adjacencies could broaden Flex-Tek’s growth opportunities as demand for data-centre infrastructure expands. (Smiths Group)
Organic revenue grew just 1.2% in FY2026, while Flex-Tek declined 0.4%. Management’s roughly 4% FY2027 growth outlook remains below its 5–7% medium-term target, leaving delivery dependent on a meaningful improvement. (Smiths Group)
Middle East disruption cost John Crane about £20m in FY2026, and the FY2027 outlook assumes disruption continues in the first half. A prolonged interruption could delay the division’s expected recovery and weigh on group growth. (Reuters, Smiths Group)
The shares may already reflect much of the improvement: Citi downgraded Smiths to Neutral after a post-results rally, saying FY2027 guidance was broadly in line with expectations and near-term catalysts were limited. That leaves less obvious scope for gains if trading merely meets forecasts. (Investing.com)
