Bulls say / Bears say
Free cash flow generation remains solid: H1 2025 FCF reached €97 million and Solvay confirms c. €300 million FCF guidance for 2025 alongside a net-debt/EBITDA leverage of 1.9×, supporting ongoing debt reduction (Solvay [turn0search0]).
The company’s cost-savings program targets €200 million by end-2025, up from €110 million in 2024, demonstrating strong operational discipline to offset inflation and support margins (Reuters [turn2news12]).
Solvay is expanding its rare-earth processing in La Rochelle to capture up to 30% of Europe’s neodymium/praseodymium demand for EV and wind-turbine magnets, positioning it to benefit from the energy transition megatrend (Reuters [turn1news12]).
H1 2025 net sales fell 4.8% organically and underlying EBITDA dropped 9.1% year-on-year, underscoring persistent demand weakness and margin pressure in key end markets (Solvay [turn0search0]).
In May 2025 Solvay revised its 2025 adjusted EBITDA guidance to the lower half of €1.0 billion–€1.1 billion, citing unfavorable market conditions and currency headwinds that highlight ongoing volatility (Reuters [turn0news13]).
Solvay’s leverage rose to a 1.9× net-debt/EBITDA ratio in Q2 2025 from 1.5× at end-2024, which may constrain financial flexibility for strategic investments or shareholder returns (Solvay [turn0search0]).
