Melrose posts 8% revenue rise in 2025; warns 2026 will miss estimates amid supply‑chain constraints

Melrose Industries, owner of GKN Aerospace, reported an 8% increase in 2025 revenue, lifted by robust aftermarket demand and continued strength in its engines unit. The group warned 2026 revenue will come in below expectations as sector‑wide supply‑chain constraints persist.

Briefing

What Hype is tracking

  • Melrose reported 8% revenue growth in 2025 but warned 2026 will miss estimates as sector‑wide supply‑chain constraints persist, underscoring ongoing supplier and delivery risk (see related Airbus engine shortages) (source:b4383f35-36d8-4fe2-9c92-ec760bcd682b).
  • Revenue strength was driven by aftermarket demand and the engines unit — valuable cash and margin sources — but converting OEM backlogs into cash and deliveries still depends on easing bottlenecks (see OEM backlog context) (source:aaa14311-8a1f-477d-889d-4dcb2c09fba7).
  • GKN’s investments in additive manufacturing and capacity expansion are directly relevant as strategic responses to supply constraints and component availability (source:0e40925d-f63a-47e7-ad73-be575c680ede).
