Summary
Derichebourg is a European metal recycling and environmental services provider focused on scrap metal processing, collection infrastructure, and recycling services.
Rationale
High 12-month momentum (0.6370) and solid ROE (11.89%) are supported by 9-month volume growth (+4.4% scrap) and a 19.8% EBITDA increase, driving full-year EBITDA toward the top end of the €350–370 million guidance.
Material risks
- 1Failure to integrate or achieve projected synergies from the €480 million Scholz Recycling acquisition while carrying €1.187 billion in net debt (2.9x leverage) at elevated refinancing coupon rates (5.375% and 5.875%).
- 2Downward pressure on scrap metal prices and processing spreads caused by cyclical weakness in European industrial production and competitive scrap collection networks.
