Summary
Salzgitter AG is a German integrated steel, trading and technology group, with Q1 2026 swinging back to profit on stronger operations, Aurubis participation income and P28 cost savings.
Rationale
The model’s positive EPS revisions, 100% analyst agreement and 21% analyst upside fit a post-earnings re-rating setup, reinforced by management’s raised 2026 guidance after a clear Q1 beat.
Material risks
- 1The upside case is vulnerable to a reversal in steel prices and margins, since current profitability is still highly cyclical and not backed by long-duration contract visibility.
- 2A material share of earnings improvement came from Aurubis and exchangeable-bond valuation effects, so weaker metals prices or bond-market conditions could quickly shrink the reported upside.
