It said the company is exposed to US tariff and short-cycle demand risks.

"However, with it trading at an approximately 30% discount to its long-term price-to-earnings average and more in line with its UK peers (having underperformed by 12% over the last 3 months), we see this as more than priced in," RBC said.

"And we still expect DiscoverIE to outgrow these peers organically in the medium term, with incremental M&A accretion potential."

RBC cut the price target to 600p from 690p. It said the PT is based conservatively on a target price-to-earnings of 15x 26E, still a 20% discount to the 10-year average P/E.

"This represents a slight premium to our UK coverage," RBC said.

At 1115 BST, the shares were up 3.1% at 531p.
