The AI research card

Independent qualitative review of each pick before the order is placed. On the rare day the research service is unavailable, the paper book trades on the quant ranking alone and no card appears here.

Summary

DBG@PARIS (Derichebourg) is a French-industrials recycling and public-sector services group, now expanded by the Scholz Recycling acquisition across Central Europe.

Rationale

The name fits a quality-momentum screen because 12-month momentum is strong, ROE is solid at 11.9%, margins are positive, and first-half 2026 revenue and EBITDA both accelerated with full-year EBITDA guidance raised.

Material risks

  • 1The Scholz deal has materially increased leverage, and Fitch’s BB downgrade highlights a potentially protracted deleveraging path if integration or cash generation disappoints.
  • 2Recycling profits remain exposed to metal-price cycles, volume swings and commodity commoditization, so the quality signal can fade quickly if spreads compress.
