Analyst

Aapeli Pursimo

Exel Composites is a manufacturing company. The company manufactures and markets composites used in demanding industrial environments. In addition to its core business, lamination and extrusion are also performed. The largest operations are found around Europe and Asia with customers in the manufacturing and aerospace industries. Exel Composites was founded in 1960 and is headquartered in Vantaa.

Here are Aapeli’s quick comments on the consolidation of Exel’s shares                    Inderes              Exel Compositesin osakkeiden yhdistäminen toteutettiin - Inderes    Exel toteutti perjantaina pörssin sulkeutumisen jälkeen yhtiökokouksen päätöksen mukaisesti osakkeidensa yhdistämisen.

It’s easy to agree with that observation about the strategy; the company is very different now. Previously, operations were quite scattered across many small applications, and there wasn’t really a single clear growth story. Now the direction is much clearer, focusing on energy, infrastructure, and other volume markets where the properties of composites provide real significant benefits. At the same time, the production structure has been cleaned up and operations centralized where it’s possible to increase scale. Conductor cores fit this picture quite well. They aren’t some isolated experiment, but exactly the kind of application where technology can scale into a large market. And Exel’s position in the value chain is interesting in the sense that the company doesn’t compete for individual grid projects but supplies the core to conductor manufacturers. If composite cores start to become common, Exel can benefit from the growth of multiple manufacturers at the same time. We’ve already seen indications of this through framework agreements. Therefore, my feeling is that the strategy shift of recent years has put the pieces in a pretty good position. A big part of the work has been fixing the structure and sharpening the focus. The next phase is then quite simple: volumes need to start showing up in the numbers. If applications like conductor cores really take off, Exel could be in a very interesting position over the next few years.

Aapeli and Tomi talked about Exel in a video                    Inderes              Exel Composites: Kysyntää monelta suunnalta - Inderes    Aika: 13.03.2026 klo 15.38 Vaikeiden vuosien jälkeen Exelin tilauskanta on paisunut ennätystasolle ja tuloskäänne näyttää lupaavalta. Tuloskäänteessä onnistumista tukee lisääntynyt kysyntä monelta eri suunnalta.  Aiheet: 00:00 Aloitus 00:13...                             Topics: 00:00 Introduction  00:13 Plenty of demand drivers  03:36 Order backlog at record levels  05:42 Scaling growth into profitability  07:08 The growth curve should strengthen towards the end of the year  10:41 Longer-term potential

Here is a new company report from Aapeli following the Q4 results  Exel’s Q4 operational performance fell short of our expectations, while its order intake reached a record level. In its guidance, the company paved the way for rapid growth in the current year but expected growth to be more heavily weighted toward the second half of the year. Due to the verbal guidance, there is uncertainty regarding the growth trajectory, but we interpret the growth outlook for the early part of the year to be more moderate than our previous expectations. Consequently, our forecasts for the current year were revised downwards, while we kept our forecasts for the coming years almost unchanged. In our view, the stock is largely fairly priced for the current growth phase, which is still in its early stages and involves uncertainties.                   Inderes              Exel Composites Q4'25: Kasvu kiihtyy, mutta kulmakerroin on kysymysmerkki -...    Exelin Q4:n operatiivinen kehitys jäi odotuksistamme, kun taas sen tilauskertymä oli ennätystasolla.

Of course. A contract is a contract and purchases are made at the point when they are needed. Conductor core contracts likely won’t stop here. Exel is in a good position, I really have to take my hat off to the strategy. Exel is completely different now than it was 5-10 years ago.

Very good. Exel will be able to do longer production runs and predictability will improve.

In these conductor core projects, I think agreeing on a minimum level is a good thing, however.  The end customer’s installation schedules naturally determine the delivery schedule, and that can take time while infrastructure is being built, even if the masts are old. I suppose the guidance of ”significant” can be interpreted as strong single-digit growth or higher.  Somehow Exel’s 60 million market cap (despite the debt) is starting to look cheap, even without a particularly significant improvement

Exel reported a weaker-than-expected Q3 report with revenue and operating profit below our estimates. In the report, the company reiterated its guidance for the current year and sees no reason to change it at this time, which was disappointing given our expectations prior to the report.

In light of this and the prevailing uncertainty, we made negative changes to our estimates for the coming years. </p>
