Winston Score History

The full picture

Dyno Nobel is an Australian company that makes explosives and blasting products used in mining, quarrying, and construction. Its core products include bulk explosives, detonators, and electronic blasting systems, sold mainly to mining companies that need to break up rock to extract coal, copper, gold, and other minerals. It is one of the largest commercial explosives manufacturers in the world.

The company earns revenue by selling explosives and providing blasting services under contracts with mining operators, primarily across Australia, North America, and parts of Asia-Pacific. With a gross margin near 28%, it benefits from long-term supply agreements and the technical complexity of its products, which makes switching suppliers difficult for customers. Dyno Nobel is owned by Incitec Pivot, an Australian fertilizer and chemicals group. The key growth driver is continued demand from the global mining industry, while the main risk is that a slowdown in commodity prices could reduce mining activity and hurt demand for its products.
