Severfield PLC (LSE:SFR) faced a challenging fiscal year ending March 2025, with revenue falling 3% to £450.9 million and a sharp 50% drop in underlying pre-tax profit to £18.1 million. Despite the tough market environment across the UK and Europe, the company secured a well-diversified order book totaling £444 million. Progress in the Indian market and promising opportunities in sectors supporting the green energy transition contribute to a positive outlook for future growth.
Severfield maintains a solid financial footing with a strong balance sheet and attractive dividend yield, though it faces headwinds in revenue growth and free cash flow consistency. Technical indicators present a mixed picture, but recent corporate developments inspire confidence in the company’s growth prospects. While the high price-to-earnings ratio may raise valuation concerns, the generous dividend continues to appeal to investors.
