2025 was a very exciting year of Valmet and our investor relations team. Alongside having 199 unique meetings with over 300 participants from all around the world, we announced the ‘Lead the Way’ strategy in our June CMD together with the new 2030 financial targets. Our year included 16 roadshows in cities such as London, New York, Zürich, Milan, and Chicago. We also had the pleasure to host multiple groups of investors in our Tampere office, Hakkila site and our HQ in Espoo during the year.
To continue serving our over 103,000 private investors, we continued to publish our quarterly newsletter, Instagram videos highlighting our quarterly results, and continued our co-operation with social media content creators such as STNX by Sijoituskäst to cater to an even more broad of an audience via short-form videos in TikTok, Instagram and YouTube. We were also pleased by the level of interest investors have for Valmet during Sijoittaja 2025 -fair in Helsinki, where our day was packed with interesting and fulfilling conversation surrounding Valmet’s performance. The level of knowledge about Valmet in our retail community is high. We would also like to extend our gratitude to all the visitors to our investor websites here and all the Valmeteers responsible for continuously improving the website. Due to your efforts and visitor feedback, we are happy to have received the shared number 1 spot among Finnish investor sites, and the shared number 4 spot among the 500 ranked European companies from Comprend 2025 ranking, which ranks corporate websites across Europe.
The highlight for the year was Valmet’s CMD, held June 5th in Tampere, where we released our new strategy, and outlined the steps to reach our 2030 Financial targets of 5% revenue growth over the cycle, 15% Comparable EBITA margin, 20% ROCE, and under 50% gearing. During the day, Valmet’s top management also gave presentations about our five business areas and the new Global Supply unit and their goals and steps to reach them. After the insightful presentations our in-person guests compromising of analysts and global institutional investors and financial media had the chance to get to know our Mill-wide-optimization and DNAe systems more in-depth to gain insight into our Automation Solutions business area, which is a part of the Process Performance Solutions segment.
Thank you again for the year 2025, and your continuous interest in Valmet. We are truly grateful for the engagements we have had during the year and hope to see as much of you as possible during 2026!
Best regards,
Pekka Rouhiainen, Vice President, Investor Relations, Valmet Oyj
