If you are covering IMI's latest results, please see the following comment from Jarek Pominkiewicz, industrials analyst at Quilter Cheviot:
"IMI has reported another solid trading update, with organic sales up 12%. Performance was supported by the timing of shipments in its Process Automation division, and the company also benefited from a catch-up in deliveries following the cyberattack that affected operations in the first quarter of 2025.
"The group continues to show strong operational execution across its end markets, with organic growth highlighting the resilience of its business model against choppiness in some of its end markets.
"Shares have performed strongly year to date, up around 39%, but still appear relatively attractively valued compared to other high-quality UK industrial peers. Over the past several years IMI has built a solid record of delivering organic growth and sustaining margins, which supports confidence in its outlook. Its focus on operational excellence, exposure to structural growth areas such as automation and energy efficiency, and disciplined capital allocation all contribute to its long-term appeal within the UK industrials sector."
