Daily Brief Industrials: Dynamatic Technologies, Brookfield Business , Ferrovial Sa, James Latham, Okumura Engineering, Strix Group, bpost SA, Vp PLC and more

• The structural shift in Dynamatic Technologies’ revenue mix is accelerating, with the high-margin Aerospace segment now contributing 82% of consolidated EBITDA in FY25, underpinned by major new contract industrialization.
• The premium valuation is justified by its annuity-like, high-barrier sole-supplier status for the Airbus A320 family and significant new program wins (Airbus A220 doors), providing a multi-decade visibility.
• DTL’s core value is increasingly diverging from its legacy segments; success hinges on efficient capital deployment in India and mitigating the persistent drag from its European Metallurgy business.

• We believe a pending combination of Canadian and U.S.-listed sister corporations BBU and BBUC into a single new entity may be designed to absorb $1.5 bln in off-balance-sheet liabilities belonging to BBUC into a larger entity to brace for potential financial problems.
• These off-balance-sheet “arrangements,” if they default, will probably not sink the newly formed company in the near term.
• But the new company will still be weighed down with a substantial on-balance-sheet debt load. 

• Ferrovial is a global infrastructure operator with a strategic focus on high-value transportation assets, particularly in North America. The company’s integrated business model, encompassing the entire project lifecycle from design and construction to financing and operation, provides a significant competitive advantage in complex public-private partnership (P3) projects.
• The company is in a strong financial position, characterized by a net cash position (excluding infrastructure project debt) and a track record of robust cash flow generation from its portfolio of mature assets. This financial strength allows for continued investment in growth projects and shareholder returns.
• Future growth is expected to be driven by a strong pipeline of infrastructure projects in North America, including managed lanes and airport expansions, as well as opportunities in the energy transition and water infrastructure sectors. The recent listing on Nasdaq is anticipated to enhance visibility and access to capital to fund these growth initiatives.
