Hardman Johnston International Equity Cassandra A. Hardman | “During the quarter we initiated one new position, Weir Group PLC. Weir is a leading global mining equipment company known for its high exposure to aftermarket (75% of sales), driving resilience through the cycle, with recurring demand from upstream ground engaging tools and mid-stream processing solutions such as slurry pumps which have a high replacement rate given its extreme usage. The global mining cycle remains supportive, with capex momentum improving after several years of troughing, underpinned by elevated commodity prices. In particular, the company's largest exposures are to copper and gold. While there is some debate on the split of capex between greenfield or brownfield, Weir is well positioned in any scenario. Structural margin expansion continues, following the divestment of the more volatile Oil & Gas business. Incremental efficiency gains persist, and the acquisition of MicroMine is margin-accretive and improves revenue quality. BSD Analysis: Weir is an unsung beneficiary of mining capex tied to energy transition metals. Its equipment and aftermarket services create recurring revenue. Copper, lithium, and iron ore demand drive order books. Pricing power comes from engineering complexity. Capital discipline has improved materially. Investors treat Weir like a pure cyclical. In reality, replacement demand dominates. Decarbonization increases wear intensity. This is infrastructure for materials scarcity.” | BULL | Q4 2025 Dec 31, 2025 | View Pitch |
