Rotork plc (LSE:ROR) reported a 4.5% increase in order intake during the first half of 2025, reflecting steady progress under its Growth+ strategy. All operating divisions contributed to this performance, with particularly strong momentum in the Water & Power segment. Despite ongoing macroeconomic uncertainty, the company reaffirmed its full-year expectations, supported by solid execution and recent acquisitions, including the strategic purchase of Noah.
Adjusted operating profit rose by 10.1% on an organic constant currency (OCC) basis, underpinned by a continued focus on operational efficiency and alignment with high-growth market segments. In a show of confidence, the board approved a 7.3% increase in the interim dividend and maintained its share buyback initiative, reinforcing Rotork’s commitment to delivering shareholder returns.
While financial indicators point to robust performance—with healthy cash flow, revenue growth, and low leverage—the company’s valuation remains elevated, as reflected by a relatively high P/E ratio.
