Aircraft build rates, aerospace aftermarket demand, defence spending, pricing, operational efficiency, industrial recovery and order-book conversion.
Key risks
Dependence on major aerospace programmes, customer concentration, supply-chain disruption, labour availability, raw-material costs, currency movements and cyclicality.
Recent Developments
3 August 2026: first-half results confirmed improved trading in both Aerospace and Flexonics after management had already raised full-year expectations in July. Strong commercial aerospace demand remains supportive, while investors should also watch continued takeover interest and whether higher build rates translate into stronger cash generation through 2027.

Senior has resumed a progressive dividend following the post-pandemic recovery. The FY2025 final dividend was 2.15p per share and was paid on 29 May 2026; the 2026 interim dividend has been increased to 2.0p per share.
