VERBIO Vereinigte Bioenergie

A move by Federal Transport Minister Steffen Bilger to double the maximum blending quota from E10 to E20 has sparked upside potential for Verbio. Higher ethanol quotas would strengthen demand for biofuels; Verbio recorded €899 million in revenue in the segment in fiscal 2025/26 and produced 590,884 tonnes of ethanol with an EBITDA of €85.5 million. The share rose about three percent in early trading and is trading back above €30, but remains caught in the downtrend that has persisted since spring. » Altro su deraktionaer.de

Verbio shares climbed about seven percent in pre-market trading after Jefferies raised its recommendation from "hold" to "buy" and lifted the price target from €36 to €42. Jefferies justified the upgrade by citing higher expected biodiesel margins, a possible market tightening, and the completion of extensive investments that should help realize earnings. Deutsche Bank Research remains positive but cut its price target from €42 to €40 ahead of Q1 figures, expecting EBITDA to be roughly 25% lower than the prior quarter, weighed down by lower bioethanol prices. For speculative investors, chart confirmations are still recommended before entering a position. » Altro su deraktionaer.de

Deutsche Bank Research has lowered the price target for Verbio from 42 to 40 euros but kept the investment rating at "Buy". Analyst Manuela Stuerzer expects EBITDA in the first quarter to be roughly a quarter lower than in the previous quarter. The main reason is falling prices for bioethanol. » Altro su finanzen.net
