Derichebourg Shares Fall 2.85% at Close After Recent Surge
Derichebourg's stock ended the Monday, December 8, 2025 session down 2.85%, closing at 7.155 euros compared to 7.37 euros the previous day. This decline follows several sessions of strong gains that propelled the stock nearly 50% over the year.
Significant Rise on Friday Leads to Technical Consolidation
The metal recycling specialist soared 16.44% on Friday, December 5, becoming the top performer in the SBF 120 following the announcement of its annual results for 2024-2025. The group reported a net profit of 122 million euros, up from 74.8 million a year earlier, boosted by contributions from Elior, in which it holds a 48% stake. The decline observed this Monday, with 0.32% of the capital traded, is part of a technical consolidation after this upward sequence. Over the past week, the stock still shows a gain of 11.36%, while its quarterly and annual performance reached 39.88% and 46.02% respectively, significantly outperforming the CAC 40 which has risen by 9.18% over the year.
Financial Performance Mixed, with Strong Net Profit Increase
For the fiscal year ended September 30, Derichebourg posted revenue of 3.3 billion euros, down 7.5%, and a current EBITDA of 319.5 million euros, down 3.2%, but net income jumped 63%. The group exceeded its recently revised targets thanks to an exceptional September. The company confirmed the maintenance of its dividend at 0.13 euros per share, indicating a cautious distribution policy. For the 2025-2026 fiscal year, Derichebourg anticipates revenue at least equal to the previous year and a current EBITDA between 320 and 350 million euros.
Technical Indicators Suggest Strong Uptrend Despite Consolidation
Technically, the stock is now trading above its 50-day and 200-day moving averages, located at 5.97 euros and 5.81 euros respectively, confirming the strength of the upward trend. The RSI is at 80, a level indicating an overbought situation and justifying a pause after the recent strong performance. This technical overheating partly explains the consolidation movement observed this Monday, as the price tests the psychological resistance of 7.37 euros established the day before. The MACD indicator remains positive with a line at 0.18 above the signal at 0.07, suggesting that the underlying bullish momentum remains intact despite the day's profit-taking.
