Derichebourg's Stock Soars Following Acquisition Announcement of Scholz Recycling
The recycling specialist's stock marked one of the highest increases in the SBF 120 this Tuesday, following the announcement of an acquisition deal involving German company Scholz Recycling. The stock price is now at €9.3550, very close to its resistance level of €9.33. Over one year, the stock has now increased by 50.89%.
A European Consolidation Operation in Metal Recycling
Derichebourg has signed a binding contract to acquire 100% of Scholz Recycling, one of the largest European players in the recycling of ferrous and non-ferrous metals. According to the press release, the target company has a turnover of €1.6 billion. This operation is set to strengthen the group's position in the European market and support the decarbonization of the steel industry. The regulatory context favors the acquisition. During the announcement of the 2024/2025 fiscal year, the group mentioned the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) and quota reform as favorable levers for local ferrous volumes. The company then guided an expected EBITDA for 2025/2026 between €320 million and €350 million, with a turnover at least equivalent to the €3,337.1 million of the previous year. The semi-annual accounts will be published on May 28.
