Rosebank Industries PLC
(AIM:ROSE)
Rosebank resumes trading after discounted £1.1bn funding to buy first acquisition

Published: 10:44 11 Jun 2025 BST
Rosebank Industries PLC -

Shares in Rosebank Industries PLC (AIM:ROSE), the new 'buy, improve, sell' vehicle for the founders of Melrose Industries, fell 43% as it resumed trading on Wednesday after a suspension as it carried out a £1.14 billion fundraising to buy electrical components business Electrical Components International (ECI).

The company issued 380 million new shares at a price 300p, a discount to the 660p the shares had reached at the end of May.

On Wednesday, Rosebank issued an admission document for the ECI reverse takeover and proposed to raise an extra £6.7 million via an open offer, allowing retail investors to also buy at the same issue price.

The acquisition of ECI, an electrical components business 80% focused on North America that made revenues of $1.3 billion in 2024, requires the approval of Rosebank's shareholders at a meeting convened for 1 July.

Rosebank, which was floated by former Melrose directors last July with the backing of investors including Aviva, said last week that it agreed to buy ECI at an enterprise value of "less than $1.9 billion on a debt and cash free basis", representing nine times expected 2025 adjusted EBITDA.

It is targeting "5 percentage points of operating margin improvement through untapped cost saving and restructuring initiatives", which it expects to "unlock the additional potential of the business".

Shares in the cash shell rocketed from 250p at its £50 million IPO to over 675p in the first week, topping 900p at the start of this year.

The price of this week's funding meant that "reality now hits hard that it will need to raise a significant amount of money to make acquisitions, and then it could take years to do each one up", said analyst Russ Mould at AJ Bell.

He said Rosebank is "not buying electrical components business ECI on the cheap", with nine times adjusted earnings "fine for a company that is running smoothly, but twice as much as you might find with acquisitions of a broken business".

UBS cuts Melrose Industries price target to 360 (400) pence - 'sell'

Not done any damage to the price today.

Interesting to see that the Dowlais share price has outperformed MRO over the last full year, and within it. Did MRO make the wrong management picks I wonder?

Looks like some bottom picking attempts and short covering down here bookbroker, but it is so difficult to trade from one headline to the next on tariffs - when you just don't know when they're gonna hit the wire or come out elsewhere.

This move in MRO looks nearly all tariff related - some company related initially (with the tariffs not being factored into the forecasts so the market didn't know what to pencil in) and then the follow through from the S&P500 breaking under the 200 day moving average and continuing to hit further lows.

It is abit capital preservation out there in the near term. More companies are commenting on the tariffs and it is plain to see what is happening out there.

I am watching 113 small and mid caps (mainly smaller) and can count 9 companies that have made any form of notable price gain very recently. Some of them are giving back the gains too.

That is such a tough environment. If anyone new is in the market, I mean......even more experienced folk are finding it challenging!

Use stops, bank into spikes is the only play in town right now. I'm mostly just sitting this yeah but no but yeah...but no...on tariffs.phase out - too hard to trade with confidence.

Gap up, gap down from one headline to the next.

MRO sort of paints the picture.

EDIT: Yeah....it's Trump and more Trump......and he can't rule out a recession or higher prices and is being dismissive of businesses who are RIGHTLY concerned about the uncertainties this is all bringing. The US was comfortable about the tariffs a short while back, now you're getting more headlines about them having a bigger impact...so we have to watch how they move....just in case they have a bigger tumble from here.


All imo

I'm a monkey.

Louis, I accept your right to be offensive although I'm only offended by your inability to explain economic value, intrinsic value, opportunity cost, income statement profitability and balance sheet profitability.

Great word salad. You'd make it in politics big time.

The only aspect I can agree with in a BB is do it when the share price is low. When the share price is rising hold back on the BB. Their larger spend NOW as rettah points out is sensible and if you can agree that point it follows that (in hindsight) last months BB spend was less than sensible.

And I'm pretty certain the 'Sage' also advocates that aspect to a BB. I also believe Buffett owns a big chunk of Coca-Cola. $29bn I understand.

Coca-cola are about to embark upon a share buyback. 1bn Euro buy-back. It appears the EPS is down 15% on the previous year. Bet you the director's bonuses are linked to EPS. So, let's blow 1bn Euro of shareholders cash to ensure the bonuses are maintained.

Now, throw me a banana please 😂🍌🍌🍌

I see some posters handles on here I recognise. Hello all.

I'm looking in as I feel MRO may be worth a small punt early next week in the hope that the recent falls have been overdone somewhat.

Given MRO's activities in the defence area and given the expected increase in spending in the same area I would expect the share price to rise at some point over the next few months.

I note the Div. Yield is poor though and that's one of my main concerns. I don't mind waiting for an eventual share price rise if I'm being paid during the wait.

To add to 1knocker's suggestion about a fair price, my ii SIPP suggests 740.0p hence a current 34% discount.

Cheers all.

This has been one of my most successful investments.
I rate the management highly.

I have been wondering though if the share price was getting a bit inflated.
I don't think the results (pretty good IMO) or the tariff risk warrants a 25% fall in the SOP this week. i think the share price was probably a bit high, and a correction was due.

My difficulty is to determine what a decent price at which to top up would be.
I already have quite a decent holding, so I feel no inclination to chase.

Any thoughts?

its better to travel than arrive
x100

defence money will come but it will take time to ramp capacity and in a lot of names there has been pull fwd in the share prices esp some of those up triple digits in % terms this year.

With the dismal MRO share price performance since the GKN acquisition the issue is less about what the Directors are worth in pay than whether they should keep their jobs at all. I'm sure the heavyweight non Execs will be considering this as a matter of urgency (not).

Would need to pay a minimum of £12-14 bn to get hold of RR, with debt on top,
Melrose not in that league, particularly with the MRO share price near current levels.
