Filtronic Shares: Edison Sees ‘Avenues for Sustainable Growth’

Filtronic (LON: FTC) shares have rallied sharply over the past year, trading at 196p and up 10.7% since January after surging nearly 82% over 12 months.

The stock hit a record intraday high of 209p on Feb. 9 before easing back, with analysts at Edison pointing to what they describe as clear “avenues for sustainable growth.”

In a new report, Edison said Filtronic’s first-half performance highlighted stable revenues and continued investment across engineering, manufacturing and business development.

The company has entered the second half with a record order book, supported by progress in diversifying its customer base. Edison noted that Filtronic is now working with five companies in the space sector and sees a growing pipeline in defence, helping reduce reliance on its largest client.

The firm maintained its revenue and EBITDA forecasts for fiscal 2026 and 2027, expecting a temporary revenue dip this year due to order phasing before growth resumes as new clients contribute more meaningfully.

Edison said upcoming launches of gallium nitride-based power amplifiers across multiple high-frequency bands will broaden Filtronic’s opportunity set in satellite markets.

With about 90% of fiscal 2026 revenue already covered by contracted orders and 60–70% visibility into 2027, the research house said management appears well positioned to meet expectations.

Its valuation work suggests the current share price reflects sustained long-term revenue growth and healthy margins.

Edison concluded that Filtronic’s expanding customer roster, deeper penetration of space and defence markets and widening product range underpin the company’s long-term growth potential.
