DYFED STEELS LIMITED
Company number 01287461 · Monitor this company
Executive summary
Dyfed Steels Limited is a long-established, fully compliant metals stockholder with a substantial balance sheet (£29m net assets) but a tight liquidity profile reliant on short-term facilities and invoice discounting, with minimal cash on hand. The FY2025 strategic report implies recent loss-making amid falling steel prices and lower volumes, though gross margin improved and the directors affirm going concern on the basis of post year-end trading. Overall risk is assessed as MEDIUM: solvency appears sound, but near-term earnings recovery and continuity of financing facilities warrant close monitoring.
