Unison Asset Management Alex and Dan | “Following the spin-off from Holcim, Amrize shares have lagged despite high-quality assets. U.S. housing softness masked underlying earnings power. We increased our stake in Amrize, supported by strong insider buying led by CEO Jan Jenisch, who purchased over 1.25 million shares on the open market. We believe Amrize offers significant upside as U.S. construction normalizes and management applies focused portfolio discipline. BSD Analysis: Amrize's moat is process knowledge and long-term client relationships rather than technology leadership. It lives inside customer operations where replacement risk is more political than technical. Growth is steady but structurally capped by labor intensity. Margins depend on utilization and project mix, not pricing power. Competition is fragmented, but differentiation is thin. Scale helps credibility, yet it doesn't unlock operating leverage the way software would. The bull case is continued outsourcing demand and stable renewals. The bear case is wage inflation and client insourcing pressure. Amrize survives by being reliable—not by being indispensable.” | BULL | Q4 2025 Feb 2, 2026 | View Pitch |
BESTINVER Mark Giacopazzi | “Amrize is a building materials company that offers cement, aggregates, and solutions for roofing and insulation. Its business needs no introduction: it is the undisputed leader in cement in the US and Canada, with a dominant position in local markets and a production capacity double that of the country's second-largest operator. One of the most important aspects for us, however, is who runs it. We are talking about the current CEO of Holcim (Jan Jenisch), one of the best managers in a sector we know well, with a proven track record in creating value through organic growth and well-executed acquisitions. Amrize was spun off from Holcim in the summer and listed in both Switzerland and the US in a transaction that has created a rare opportunity: to buy a leading, well-managed company with room for operational improvement and a clear roadmap for growth, at a price that does not reflect either its quality or its potential. BSD Analysis: Amrize is a specialty chemicals and materials company positioned around performance additives and value-added formulations rather than commodity volume. Its exposure to construction, industrial coatings, and infrastructure-linked demand provides cyclical upside with some defensiveness from specification-driven products. Margin expansion depends on mix improvement and pricing discipline rather than raw volume growth. Input-cost volatility remains a swing factor, but Amrize's customer relationships support pass-through over time. The balance sheet appears manageable, giving room for incremental bolt-on acquisitions. Execution consistency is the key variable investors should watch. This is a mid-cycle industrial story where self-help matters as much as end markets.” | BULL | Q3 2025 Sep 30, 2025 | View Pitch |
