Assumptions
35. Investment Thesis
1. We believe Spirax-Sarco combines a resilient business model with strong
through-cycle growth opportunity and top-quartile margins and returns.
1. We see multiple growth drivers in the group; structural trend to replace traditional pumps with
Watson Marlow peristaltic pumps.
2. Acquisitions surprise on the upside and driver of possible future upside to forecasts.
WHY HOLD?
RISKS
1. Significant lower industrial production growth.
2. Translation risks on imported materials from higher material costs
driven by base metal prices.
3. Strengthening GBP vs USD or EUR. 1/3 of equipment is made in the UK.
90% of sales are abroad.
