Somero Enterprises Inc. (LSE:SOM) released a trading update highlighting a challenging start to 2025. The company has faced headwinds from tariffs and elevated interest rates, which have slowed project initiations and dampened investment appetite, especially in the U.S. market. As a result, Somero has lowered its full-year revenue and EBITDA forecasts.
Despite these setbacks, Somero expects a stronger performance in the second half of the year, supported by seasonal market activity and the launch of new products. To offset the revenue pressures, the company has introduced cost-saving initiatives projected to save $6 million annually.
Looking ahead, Somero remains optimistic about its longer-term prospects and plans to unveil an updated strategic framework aimed at harnessing future growth opportunities and market trends.
Company Outlook
Somero’s financial foundation and appealing valuation support a positive long-term outlook, even as short-term revenue declines and challenging market conditions persist. The company’s ongoing share buy-back program demonstrates proactive capital management, although bearish technical signals suggest cautious sentiment in the near term.
