RBC Capital lifts Rotork stock rating to Outperform, sets GBP3.70 target

On Tuesday, RBC Capital Markets analyst Mark Fielding upgraded shares of Rotork Plc (LON:ROR:LN) (OTC: RTOXY), a market-leading actuator manufacturer and flow control company, from ’Sector Perform’ to ’Outperform’. The move was accompanied by a new price target set at GBP3.70.

Fielding’s upgrade was based on the resilience of Rotork’s business mix. Despite the stock’s performance falling in line with the sector over the past three months, Fielding noted that Rotork’s end markets and specific tariff risks appear to be more resilient than those of its peers. He highlighted the company’s valuation metrics, pointing out that Rotork’s Absolute EV/EBITA and P/E ratios are both nearly 25% below their 10-year averages.

The analyst also remarked on the company’s valuation in comparison to historical figures. He stated, "Both absolute and relative valuations are at or below the low ends of their 10-year ranges." This suggests that the stock is undervalued when looking at a decade-long financial performance context.

Rotork’s stock has been identified by RBC Capital Markets as having a more stable business mix, which could offer a degree of protection against market fluctuations and specific industry risks. This assessment has led to a more optimistic outlook on the company’s financial health and future stock performance.

Investors and market watchers will be keeping a close eye on Rotork’s stock following this upgrade, as the new Outperform rating and price target suggest a potential upside from the current trading levels. The RBC Capital Markets’ analysis offers a positive perspective on Rotork’s resilience and value proposition in the flow control industry.
