CT Automotive (LSE:CTA) expects to report full-year 2025 revenue of at least $113 million, broadly unchanged from the previous year as challenging market conditions persisted. Despite flat revenue, the company anticipates adjusted profit before tax of at least $10 million, marking a third consecutive year of underlying profit improvement, driven by strong cost control measures and the successful rollout of several new programmes in Mexico. Results were partially affected by launch-related expenses and a non-cash inventory revaluation.
The group has strengthened its long-term growth outlook by securing 15 new contracts during FY25. These agreements are expected to generate approximately $47 million in annualised revenue once fully operational by 2028. Management indicated that FY26 revenue and profitability are likely to show modest improvement compared with FY25, supported by the gradual ramp-up of newly secured programmes, ongoing operational efficiency initiatives, expansion of its customer base and increased content per vehicle platform.
From a financial standpoint, CT Automotive is showing signs of improving performance, with stronger margins, manageable leverage and solid operating cash generation supporting its outlook. The company’s valuation also appears attractive, reflected in a notably low price-to-earnings ratio. However, technical trading indicators remain weak, with the share price currently trading below key moving averages and momentum indicators suggesting significantly oversold conditions.
