Rosebank 2026 outlook upgrade

Highlights

Rosebank upgrades its 2026 outlook as MW Components outperforms, with all three acquired segments exceeding pre-acquisition forecasts and robust order intake.
MW Components head office closure and three factory shutdowns are expected to deliver at least $15 million in annual cost reductions, with $30 million capital investment approved.
ECI's adjusted operating margin rises to 16.1% despite a 4% revenue decline, prompting Rosebank to forecast adjusted operating profit and EPS ahead of 2026 consensus.

Integration actions and first-half trading

As reported by London Stock Exchange's Regulatory News Service, Rosebank says MW Components performs strongly in the first half, with all three businesses growing ahead of pre-acquisition expectations and order intake remaining robust in the initial ownership period. The company says that, together with cost and operational measures already under way, this gives it confidence that MW Components will exceed current market expectations for 2026.

Rosebank has begun a legal restructuring of MW Components into three stand-alone units, Fasteners, Springs and Precision Components, and expects that process to finish in the third quarter of 2026. It has also agreed strategic plans with management, decided to close the MW Components head office for an annual central cost reduction of at least $15 million, announced three factory closures, and approved an initial $30 million of capital expenditure, including about $14 million at the Fasteners Addison facility.

At CPM, performance is in line with expectations since the takeover, with Aftermarket revenue rising by about 7% in the period from a year earlier. Rosebank says backlog, pipeline and early order intake in both Aftermarket and Machines support its view that CPM remains on course to meet market expectations for 2026.

Actions at CPM include simplifying the organisation, putting all Aftermarket activities under one leadership structure, and completing the acquisition of its aftermarket distributor in the UK and Ireland for 26 million euros. Rosebank also says it has started restructuring head office and divisional costs for at least $10 million of annual savings, launched a plan for the former Process Solutions division that includes a potential disposal and site consolidations, and hired a new CEO due to join on 1 October 2026.

Profit outlook improves across the portfolio

ECI is trading in line with full-year 2026 expectations, even as revenue in the first half is 4% lower than a year earlier. Rosebank says that decline includes the planned exit from low-margin business, which accounts for 3% of the year-on-year drop.

Within ECI, Appliance and HVAC revenue is down 13%, reflecting most of the exited lower-margin activity and weaker end-market conditions already communicated by the company. By contrast, the higher-margin Electrification and Industrial businesses post 9% revenue growth, helped by particularly strong demand in Industrial Tech markets, while all tariffs incurred in the period are fully recovered.

ECI's adjusted operating margin reaches 16.1% in the period, up 1.0 percentage point from a year earlier, and Rosebank says improvement plans announced last year are being accelerated. The group now expects adjusted operating profit and EPS to be ahead of company-compiled analyst consensus for 2026, and says strong trading at MW Components and recent order intake at CPM support further outperformance into 2027.

Chief executive Simon Peckham says all three businesses are improving following actions taken since acquisition, while acknowledging continued pressure in ECI's appliance operations. Rosebank plans to publish its interim results on 3 September 2026.

In our earlier article on Revolution Beauty’s turnaround, we noted that early FY2027 trading was improving as restructuring measures began to stabilise the business. The company highlighted a swing to an adjusted core profit in H2 FY2026, a leadership reset with the founders returning, and U.S. retail price adjustments designed to help offset tariff costs in the year ahead.
