Summary
Derichebourg is a French industrial conglomerate operating metal recycling and municipal multiservices divisions, generating ~€3.3B in annual revenue with earnings tied to scrap commodity cycles and long-term public sector contracts.
Rationale
The 84.6% 12-1 momentum signal is directly reinforced by the HY26 earnings beat, 10% post-results share re-rating, and raised full-year EBITDA guidance of €350-370M, while 11.9% ROE and improving margins confirm the quality overlay is not a false positive.
Material risks
- 1Scrap price volatility is the primary thesis-breaker — the current earnings upgrade cycle is partly driven by non-ferrous market strength and new customs duties effective July 2026, both of which can reverse rapidly and collapse the momentum catalyst.
- 2Elior Group associate exposure has already forced a €25M provision for Elior Italy in HY26, and further associate losses could drag reported EPS and distort the quality signal without warning.
