What MAIRE does

Italian engineering and construction (EPC) group that builds plants for petrochemicals, hydrocarbon processing and energy transition projects.

Wins large construction contracts for chemical and gas-processing plants, booking revenue as work advances, so the order backlog and cost control matter more than any single year's oil price. Its technology arm, which includes Stamicarbon, licenses fertilizer-process designs and earns fees that need little capital. Chairman Fabrizio Di Amato is the controlling shareholder.

In one line: An Italian Fluor/Jacobs for petrochemical and energy EPC projects.

Products and services

  • Petrochemical plant EPC
  • Hydrocarbon processing plant EPC
  • Green/energy transition technology (hydrogen, biofuels)

  • Industrials
  • Engineering & construction
  • EPC for petrochemical, hydrocarbon…

What could go right

  • Middle East/Asia petrochemical capex cycle
  • Energy transition project backlog growth

What could go wrong

  • Oil & gas capex cyclicality
  • Large-project execution/cost-overrun risk

Moat: narrow (process know-how, customer qualification, installed base). Deep process-licensing and EPC execution track record on complex plants, but project-based, competitively-bid business with execution risk.

Questions

Who are MAIRE's main competitors?

Is MAIRE expensive compared with its peers?
On forward p/e it trades at 14.7× against a peer median of 17.6×, 7th cheapest of 21 in its peer set. For today's price to make sense, revenue must grow about 3% a year for seven years (Req g). Recent delivered growth is +22%, so the hurdle is -19 pp: the price already allows for a slowdown.
How has MAIRE stock performed?
Over six months to 6 Nov 2026 the shares returned -11.8% against -9.9% for the median peer; over one year +2.2%.

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.
