Vesuvius Reports Steady Revenue Despite Market Headwinds

 

Vesuvius plc (LSE:VSVS) announced that its revenue and trading profit for January to April 2025 met expectations, despite ongoing challenges in the global steel and foundry markets. The company continued to gain market share, driven by its technological edge and sustained investment in research and development. However, rising raw material prices and labor costs put pressure on trading profits. Vesuvius also completed its acquisition of PiroMet and is actively working on integrating the new business. The company now expects full-year results to come in slightly below earlier forecasts due to slowing industrial activity worldwide and inflationary cost pressures.

While operational margins remain solid and valuation metrics look reasonable, Vesuvius’s outlook is tempered by concerns over revenue trends and free cash flow, combined with mixed technical signals. Nonetheless, positive corporate developments suggest cautious optimism.
