VERBIO SE: Initiation with a "BUY" Rating

The recent research by NuWays AG has assigned a "BUY" recommendation for Verbio SE, with a target price of EUR 41 over the next 12 months. As one of Europe's leading biorefineries, VERBIO is known for converting agricultural feedstocks into biodiesel, bioethanol, and other renewable products. Their operations span across Germany, the US, Canada, and India.

After two challenging years marked by low profitability, VERBIO's EBITDA for FY25/26 has shown signs of recovery, reaching €192 million. This growth is primarily attributed to the stabilization of Germany's GHG quota market and improved bioethanol spread in Europe. Regulatory improvements and enhanced production capabilities in Nevada and South Bend are expected to support future growth.

With recent investments nearing completion, VERBIO is moving from an investment-driven phase to monetization. Their accumulated GHG quotas represent significant cash potential, and the company is poised to leverage this in the coming fiscal years. Upcoming events, including FY25/26 results and the October Capital Markets Day, will offer further insights into VERBIO's strategies and market positioning.
