Investing.com - CFRA raised its rating on Umicore SA (OTC:UMICY) (BR:UMI) stock to Hold from Sell on Wednesday, while increasing its price target to EUR15.00 from EUR10.00.
The upgrade follows Umicore (EBR:UMI)’s improved guidance for 2025, with the company now expecting full-year EBITDA between EUR790 million and EUR840 million, up from its previous forecast of EUR720 million to EUR780 million.
For the first half of 2025, Umicore anticipates Group EBITDA to exceed EUR420 million, according to the research firm’s analysis.
CFRA has also raised its earnings per share estimates for Umicore to EUR1.10 from EUR0.90 for 2025, and to EUR1.20 from EUR1.00 for 2026.
The research firm believes Umicore will likely achieve the upper end of its new guidance range by year-end, based on current precious group metals (PGM) price trends and assuming no major geopolitical disruptions, with the company scheduled to report its first-half 2025 results in August.
