Elementis plc (LSE:ELM) posted a robust financial performance in the first half of 2025, with adjusted operating profit rising by 7% despite a modest dip in overall revenue. The company unveiled its new ‘Elevate Elementis’ strategy, focused on sustainable growth, enhancing customer relationships, and driving operational efficiencies. This follows the divestment of its Talc business and marks Elementis’ transition to a pure-play specialty additives company, aiming to boost margins and deliver greater shareholder value.
The stock is supported by strong cash flow generation and an active share buyback program, underscoring Elementis’ financial strength and commitment to returning value to investors. However, ongoing profitability pressures and a negative price-to-earnings ratio continue to weigh on the stock’s valuation and investor appeal.
