Image source: Getty Images Morgan Advanced Materials (LSE:MGAM) is a FTSE 250 industrial company, focusing on specialist products using carbon, advanced ceramics and composites. This includes thermal products like those used for electric vehicle charging and ceramic cores for aircraft engines. It markets itself as a global leader, and it’s certainly operating in sectors with high demands for precision instruments and products, which creates something of an economic moat. However, the last few years haven’t been straightforward. In fact, the stock is trading near 10-year lows. Morgan has struggled recently due to weak end-market demand, particularly in semiconductor and industrial…

Image source: Getty Images Recently, analysts from several banks have voiced concerns about a short-term stock market correction, including Deutsche Bank, Morgan Stanley and Societe Generale. While expectations vary, some suggest a fall of as much as 15% – or more. Nobody really knows what could happen but it pays to be prepared. And looking at the market, I can understand their caution. The S&P 500 hasn’t had the strongest year, yet valuations still look stretched following last year’s rally.

The past six months have been particularly underwhelming with only 12% growth. That’s significantly less than Rolls-Royce, Melrose Industries and Chemring Group, which have all posted stronger price performances. Market-cap growth over the past year has also trailed rivals, suggesting that investor enthusiasm hasn’t fully translated into the BAE share price.

Image source: Getty Images The FTSE 100 may be near record-highs but not all stocks have been participating. Indeed, one of its constituents now sits at an 11-year low, having crashed 25% in 2025 alone. Post-Covid blues The stock in question is speciality chemicals producer Croda (LSE: CRDA). Its mission-critical ingredients are found in dozens of products across the beauty, pharmaceutical, and agricultural industries. During the height of the pandemic, when pharmaceutical companies were manufacturing huge quantities of vaccines, sales of Croda’s lipids sky-rocketed. A subsequent collapse of that market has been the number one reason behind the stock losing…
