Umicore/Metals prices melt-up drives earnings upgrade/HOLD
We raise our 2025F-26F estimates for Umicore on the back of higher precious and platinum group metals prices, with our estimates for the battery materials business broadly unchanged. We raise our target price from €10 to €19 per share, driven by higher estimates and peer multiples, yet maintain our HOLD recommendation. Umicore shares have rallied +85% over the last year, largely driven by the melt-up in metals prices, although its earnings power in 2026F is likely moderated by elevated hedging l...

Umicore Walking on Sunshine - increasing target price to € 21
We upgrade our forecasts for the coming years with our 2030E adjusted EBITDA estimate upped by c. 8%. Loosening EU standards on CO2 emission regulation for cars & vans provide some additional support to the Catalysts business, whilst we have kept our forecasts for Battery Materials unchanged as these were already below the company's CMD targets and upside to our numbers will have to come from new supply arrangements/partnerships. The very strong metal price environment will most likely allow Umi...

Umicore EU looks set to abandon combustion engine ban in 2035
Based on various press articles, it seems increasingly likely that the European Union is to abandon the earlier agreed ban on new combustion engine-based passenger cars by 2035, whilst new legislation would still require a significant reduction of tailpipe emissions. Any loosening of legislation would probably be good news for Umicore's Catalysts business, with European ICE Light duty Automotive Catalysts' revenue representing c. 28% of total ICE light duty Automotive Catalysts' revenue. We awai...

Umicore FIRST LOOK: Silicon-anodes JV with HS Hyosung Advance Material...
After more than a decade of R&D efforts on developing silicon carbon composite anode materials for EV batteries, Umicore now believes its technology is ready for industrialization & commercialization and has announced its intention to create a JV with HS Hyosung Advanced Materials. Umicore will retain a minority stake in the JV, which will allow the group to limit expenditure for the roll-out of its anode technology. This approach is very much in sync with the approach taken for the cathode acti...
