Rockwood Strategic plc (LSE:RKW) recorded a NAV Total Return of 12.5% for the six months ending September 2025, outperforming both the FTSE Small Cap and FTSE AIM All-Share indices. Strategic investments, including new positions in Treatt Plc and Tribal Group Plc—with the latter rising 53% since acquisition—have driven performance. The company also achieved a successful exit from Galliford Try Plc, generating a 48.2% internal rate of return. Despite broader economic challenges, Rockwood remains confident in the potential for continued portfolio growth, supported by its focused investment strategy.
The company’s outlook is underpinned by a solid balance sheet and attractive valuation metrics, including a low P/E ratio and high dividend yield, which may indicate undervaluation. However, operational efficiency issues and negative cash flows present risks, while technical analysis shows bearish trends that temper the outlook.
