Metso Oyj
Metso Oyj makes equipment and parts used to crush, grind, separate, and move rocks and minerals. Its machines and wear parts sit in the middle of mining and quarrying operations, where they help customers turn raw ore and stone into material that can be processed, sold, or used in construction. The company also sells process control systems and related technical services that keep these plants running. Its main customers are mining companies, quarry operators, and industrial customers that need heavy processing equipment. Metso earns money by selling large capital machines, replacement parts, consumables, and maintenance services over the life of that equipment. That mix gives it both one-time project sales and recurring service revenue tied to installed machines. What makes Metso different is its role as a specialist supplier for mineral processing and aggregates production, not a general industrial machinery maker. Customers rely on it for the hard-wearing tools and service support that keep crushing and grinding lines operating in tough environments. In practice, Metso sits close to the front end of the metals and construction materials supply chain, where uptime and equipment durability matter a lot.

Strong start: Metso said Q1 was a solid start to the year, with order intake up 6% to EUR 1.555 billion and sales up 3% to EUR 1.252 billion, supported by healthy demand in both Minerals and Aggregates.
Margins held up: Adjusted EBITDA rose 5% to EUR 203 million, with margin improving to 16.2% as pricing and gross margin gains offset higher SG&A and currency headwinds.
Backlog supports growth: The order book increased 6% to EUR 3.6 billion, and management said the strong Minerals aftermarket backlog should start showing up in sales from Q2 onward.
Guidance unchanged: The company kept its outlook unchanged and still expects both Minerals and Aggregates markets to remain at the current stable activity level, while warning that geopolitical turbulence could affect demand.
Cash flow softer: Operating cash flow fell to EUR 78 million, mainly because of inventory buildup and timing of mineral project deliveries, but management said cash generation should stay healthy through 2026.
Strategy execution: Metso highlighted continued progress on its strategy, including the MRA Automation acquisition, the Loesche partnership, the China rubber products plant investment, divestments, and completion of the ERP rollout.
