Derichebourg (ENXTPA:DBG) Could Be 11% Below Fair Value On Notes Redemption

Simply Wall St · 2d ago

Derichebourg (ENXTPA:DBG) has moved to redeem the remaining €300,000,000 of its 2.250% Senior Notes due 2028, a financing decision that puts the group’s debt mix and funding costs in focus.

Recent trading tells a mixed story. The share price is down about 9% over three months but still up 34% year to date, while a 1-year total shareholder return of roughly 82% and 3-year total shareholder return of about 110% point to strong longer run momentum. This frames the debt redemption as another piece in Derichebourg’s ongoing reset of its capital structure.

Derichebourg trades below both internal fair value estimates and analyst targets, even after announcing the senior notes redemption. Is that a justified safety discount, or is it an opportunity that the market is slow to reprice?

Most Popular Narrative: 10% Undervalued

The most followed narrative on Derichebourg pegs fair value at €10.26 using a 6.94% discount rate, compared with the last close at €9.22. This frames the freshly announced bond redemption within a wider view of discounted cash flows, capital allocation, and scrap market exposure.

Growing regulatory push for Extended Producer Responsibility across electrical equipment, vehicles, hot water tanks and future battery streams is widening fee based recycling flows where Derichebourg is already invested. This supports a higher share of less volatile, service driven EBITDA.

Entry into battery recycling and lead refinery projects with partners such as LG Energy and planned vertical integration in France are aimed at capturing value in higher complexity waste. This can support long term revenue growth, improve net margins and smooth earnings through more specialized recycling lines.

Result: Fair Value of €10.26 (UNDERVALUED)

Still, the Derichebourg story can break if European auto and construction demand stay weak or if new recycling projects ramp slowly and squeeze returns.
