Summary
Derichebourg is a French industrial group 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 momentum signal (0.85) is directly reinforced by a concrete fundamental catalyst—HY26 recurring EBIT up 23%, guidance raised to €350–370M EBITDA, and a ~10% share re-rating on results—making this a fundamentals-driven price move rather than pure sentiment, which is precisely what quality_momentum seeks.
Material risks
- 1Scrap price reversal is the primary thesis-breaker—non-ferrous tailwinds and new customs duties drove the guidance raise, but a commodity downturn or policy reversal on quotas would collapse the earnings upgrade cycle that is sustaining momentum.
- 2Elior Group associate exposure has already forced a €25M provision for Elior Italy and could generate further drag on reported profitability or divert capital, muddying the clean quality signal embedded in the ROE and margin metrics.
