In a new report, Bank of America maintains its "Buy" rating on METLEN, with a price target of €52 per share, based on a 7x EV/EBITDA multiple for 2027.
BofA notes that METLEN’s strategy in critical metals is being significantly strengthened, serving as one of the key drivers of the company’s future growth.
Particular emphasis is placed on gallium, with BofA noting that gallium production at METLEN’s alumina facilities is in the industrial implementation phase, with the goal of reaching full production capacity of 50 tons per year by the end of 2027.
The firm sees room for upward revisions in profitability estimates from the gallium business, noting that the previous estimate of an annual contribution of €40 million may prove to be conservative, due to higher spot prices for the metal.
In fact, the report emphasizes that the business plan for critical minerals has evolved significantly compared to what was presented at the 2025 Capital Markets Day.
