Investing.com -- Rosebank Industries plc (LON:ROSE) announced Wednesday the completion of its ECI acquisition, with the target company reporting a record adjusted EBIT margin of 15.1% for the first half of the year.

The margin performance at ECI exceeded expectations, running modestly ahead of full-year forecasts despite challenging tariff conditions.

The company also reported a 28% year-over-year increase in new business wins, supporting Rosebank’s strategy to shift toward higher-growth, higher-margin Electrification & Industrial segments.

Restructuring plans at ECI are already underway, including the closure of the St Louis head office announced today. As previously indicated, ECI’s leverage has been significantly reduced.

In a leadership change, Diego Laurent, former CEO of GKN (LON:GKN) Powder Metallurgy until early last year, has been appointed as Financial Director of ECI.

Rosebank shares currently trade at £3.39, with Jefferies analysts maintaining a Buy rating and a price target of £4.35, representing a 28% upside potential.
