Summary
DBG is a scaled European waste-management and metal-recycling group combining scrap collection/processing with public-sector services, recently enlarged by the Scholz Recycling acquisition.
Rationale
The name screens well for quality_momentum because share-price momentum is strong, ROE is healthy at 11.9%, margins are positive, and operating results are still improving with 7.8% revenue growth and 9.7% EBITDA growth in H1 2025/26.
Material risks
- 1Scholz integration and leverage risk, with post-acquisition net debt rising to €1.187 billion and financing costs stepping up after the new senior green notes.
- 2Recycling earnings remain highly cyclical and commodity-driven, so ferrous/non-ferrous price swings, scrap volumes and steelmaker demand can quickly reverse the current improvement.
