Umicore Strategy update comes with ambitious targets for 2028

At the occasion of the long awaited CMD & Strategy Update, Umicore revealed ambitious targets for 2028. EBITDA28 target stands at €1-1.2bn well above our € 0.8bn estimate. While all divisional targets exceed our estimates the targets for Catalysis stand out most. We remind that Catalysis and to a lesser extent Recycling are facing structural headwinds from the ongoing electrification, whilst still generating top notch cash flow. Taking into account the current distressed valuation, we maintain our accumulate rating and € 12 target price. We are attending the CMD in London today.
