Smiths Group is well positioned as a leading player in niche markets.

The market's negative reaction to Smiths' full-year 2017 results is overdone, in our view, given that the full benefits for the Morpho acquisition will be more visible in 2018 and John Crane is a late-cycle beneficiary to the stabilisation in the oil price relative to recent years. We would advise taking advantage of the recent weakness in the share price. We anticipate making less than a 5% change to our fair value estimate on the back of the results, and we maintain our narrow moat rating.
