Analyst projections of the future price of Salzgitter AG stock.
Bulls say / Bears say
Salzgitter returned to profit in the first half of 2026 and raised its full-year forecast: it now expects adjusted EBITDA of €725–825 million and pre-tax profit of €325–425 million. Improved results in steel, trading and technology, alongside the Aurubis contribution, supported the turnaround. (Salzgitter AG, EQS News)
The P28 efficiency programme delivered €97 million of savings in the first half, achieving most of its €122 million target for 2026. Further savings could help protect margins even if steel demand remains subdued. (Salzgitter AG)
Tighter EU steel import restrictions and the carbon border levy are beginning to support European steel prices, according to Salzgitter. If these measures continue to curb low-priced imports, they could improve the pricing environment for its steel business. (MarketScreener, Salzgitter AG)
The demand backdrop remains weak: Salzgitter expects only a moderate improvement, while EUROFER forecasts EU steel consumption to grow by just 0.1% in 2026. A slow recovery could limit volumes and keep its steel operations under pressure. (EUROFER, MarketScreener)
A large share of the first-half earnings improvement came from Aurubis: its contribution was €193 million, up from €71.5 million a year earlier, and was described as exceptionally high. This makes reported performance more exposed to metal-price and investment-income swings than steel results alone suggest. (EQS News, Salzgitter AG)
Salzgitter is taking on HKM while continuing heavy investment in its decarbonisation programme; it expects net financial debt to be slightly above €1 billion by year-end. HKM also requires substantial restructuring, so investment and integration demands could weigh on cash and execution. (Salzgitter AG, Salzgitter AG)
