What DPC does

UK-founded precision-casting company making superalloy turbine components for jet engines and industrial gas turbines.

Casts turbine parts from nickel and cobalt superalloys, so sales follow jet-engine and industrial gas-turbine build rates: frames, housings and nozzles for aerospace, airfoils for gas turbines. A smaller turbocharger-wheel line serves vehicle makers. Operates under the Doncasters name; the listed parent was formerly Alloy Topco.

In one line: A UK precision-casting peer to Howmet Aerospace.

Products and services

  • Turbine airfoils/blades
  • Turbine center frames & combustion parts
  • Turbocharger wheels (transportation)

Customers

  • Jet-engine makers
  • Industrial gas-turbine makers
  • Turbocharger manufacturers

Where it sits in the supply chain

  • Industrials
  • Aerospace/industrial components
  • Precision castings & superalloy…

What could go right

  • Commercial aerospace engine build-rate recovery
  • Industrial gas-turbine demand for power generation

What could go wrong

  • Aerospace build-rate cyclicality
  • Raw material (nickel, cobalt) cost swings

Moat: narrow (process know-how, customer qualification, IP / patents). Precision superalloy casting for jet engines requires long, costly aerospace qualification.

How these numbers are made. Returns are close-to-close in local currency. Revenue growth and margins are trailing twelve months. Req g is the revenue growth that today's enterprise value requires for seven years at the company's own cost of capital; Delivered g is what it actually grew; the gap is the hurdle (honest precision about ±8 points, so read the ranking more than the decimal). No fair values, price targets or analyst ratings are shown, by design. Method and validation.
