Analyst projections of the future price of Umicore stock.
Bulls say / Bears say
Umicore raised its 2026 adjusted EBITDA outlook to slightly above €1 billion after first-half EBITDA rose 33% year on year. That signals strong earnings momentum, although the outlook assumes metal prices stay near June levels and no major deterioration in the economy. (Umicore)
Recycling delivered 36% year-on-year growth in first-half adjusted EBITDA, as high activity and robust product demand more than offset lower refining volumes after planned maintenance. This shows the scale and resilience of a core earnings engine. (Umicore)
Catalysis increased first-half adjusted EBITDA by 8% and automotive catalysts outperformed the global market. Management expects full-year earnings to match the 2025 record, supporting the case that this established business can generate strong cash while it expands in growth markets. (Umicore)
Battery cathode volumes were flat as some customer platforms ramped up more slowly than expected, and the expected improvement relies largely on take-or-pay compensation rather than higher sales. Battery Recycling also remained loss-making, leaving the division’s recovery dependent on demand improving. (Umicore)
Recycling’s exceptional first-half result is unlikely to persist: Umicore expects its second-half adjusted EBITDA to be lower than the first half. Its 2026 group outlook also assumes metal prices remain broadly at June levels, leaving earnings exposed if prices or trading conditions weaken. (Umicore)
Catalysis faces a mature market as global internal-combustion vehicle production declines, limiting the scope for sustained growth in its established automotive business. Umicore expects 2026 Catalysis earnings to be in line with 2025, rather than to grow beyond that record level. (Umicore, Umicore)
