FLSmidth & Co A-S Raises Full-Year 2025 Financial Guidance

Copenhagen, Denmark — FLSmidth & Co A/S, a leading machinery company specializing in the cement and minerals industries, has announced an upward revision of its full-year 2025 financial guidance. This decision follows a robust financial performance in the Mining business during the first quarter of 2025.

Strong Q1 Performance

The company reported a better-than-expected performance in Q1 2025, driven primarily by its Mining division. The Adjusted EBITA (Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, and Amortization) saw a significant increase, prompting the Board of Directors to approve an upgraded financial outlook for the year. Notably, the Mining Service revenue experienced a 14% increase, underscoring the division’s pivotal role in the company’s financial health.

Market Reaction

As of the close on May 8, 2025, FLSmidth’s stock was trading at 323.8 DKK, reflecting a recovery from its 52-week low of 250 DKK on April 6, 2025. The company’s market capitalization stands at 17.87 billion DKK, with a Price Earnings ratio of 17.42. The positive financial guidance is likely to bolster investor confidence, potentially impacting the stock’s performance positively.

Strategic Developments

In addition to the financial update, FLSmidth has secured a significant contract to deliver a full flotation technology package to one of the world’s largest and most efficient iron ore beneficiation plants. This project, undertaken for a progressive Indian miner and steelmaker, highlights FLSmidth’s commitment to innovation and sustainability in the minerals sector.

Short Interest Overview

Despite the positive developments, FLSmidth remains among the companies with notable short interest on the Danish stock market. As of May 13, 2025, GN Store Nord A/S and Zealand Pharma A/S had higher short interest percentages compared to FLSmidth.

Conclusion

FLSmidth & Co A/S’s strategic initiatives and strong Q1 performance have set a positive tone for the remainder of 2025. The company’s focus on expanding its footprint in the Mining sector and delivering cutting-edge technology solutions positions it well for sustained growth in the industrials sector.
