Umicore FIRST LOOK: Bart Sap to become new CEO

Umicore has nominated its Catalysis head Bart Sap as new group CEO, in succession of Mathias Miedreich, who is stepping down in mutual agreement with the Board. The press release points out that capex spend will be re-evaluated under the new CEO, suggesting that the company might slow down its growth plans somewhat in light of the slower battery materials market growth and taking into account the balance sheet implications of the initial capex plans. We continue to believe Umicore is well placed...

Umicore - CEO leaving raises even more question marks

•    As of today CEO Mathias Miedreich will be replaced by Bart Sap, who was leading the Catalysis division. •    Priority of the new CEO will be to review all the developments plans in Battery materials.•    We always had our question marks and doubts on all these investments and the return profile of Battery materials and this is only further increased by this surprising news. We put our rating (Hold), estimates and TP (was EUR 23) under review.

Umicore : Risk in Battery Materials not properly reflected, rating to ...

>Underperform, price target to €19 (was €25.5) - We change our rating to Underperform (was Neutral) and lower our TP to €19 per share (relative valuation outcome €17.5, weight 40% and DCF, outcome €20, weight 60%). Our investment thesis remains unchanged with declining volumes and thus sales and margins for Recycling and Catalysis in the medium and long term and lower than projected revenues and margins (and thus returns) for Battery Materials. Due to the material c...

Umicore commented that market dynamics in 1Q were in line with its expectations and the company reiterated its FY24 adj EBITDA guidance range of € 900-950m which represents at midpoint a 5% drop y/y. We continue to believe Umicore is well placed to play an important role in the electrification of transportation as we believe that global OEMs are still determined to establish local supply chains in Europe and North America. HLM and solid-state technologies will in our opinion support the position...
