OVERALL SCORE: 4.8/10

Context and risks

The rise in crude oil and geopolitical tensions do not directly affect Melrose's aerospace business. However, the rise in 10-year Treasury yields (5.17%) increases the cost of financing for a company with Net Debt/EBITDA of 2.90, although it is not a dominant factor.
