Summary
Salzgitter AG is a German integrated steel, steel-processing, trading, and technology group transitioning its core production to hydrogen-based direct reduction and electric-arc furnace technology.
Rationale
The strong 12-1 month price momentum signal is validated by a sharp H1 2026 operational turnaround and upgraded 2026 guidance targeting €725–825 million in EBITDA VX.
Material risks
- 1Execution delays and cost overruns across the SALCOS and HKM transformation plans, exacerbated by uncompetitive German electricity and hydrogen costs.
- 2Steel market commoditization and import pressure if European customers resist paying green-steel price premiums.
