What believers are saying
- H1 2026 revenue held at €1.088 billion despite weaker HPQ and costs.
- Structural savings delivered €14 million in H1 2026, improving cash generation.
- S&P expects 2027 EBITDA recovery as glass recycling and semiconductor-grade HPQ improve.
What critics are saying
- HPQ sales remain below 2023 peaks, tied to Asian solar PV demand.
- S&P cut capex to €100 million; chronic underinvestment can delay growth and maintenance.
- If HPQ and construction stay weak, EBITDA stalls near €450 million and deleveraging stops.
What makes Sibelco unique
- Sibelco pairs industrial minerals with North American glass recycling after Strategic Materials' 2024 acquisition.
- Its 118 sites across 31 countries support local supply, especially quartz and ceramics customers.
- The 2026 Jundu separation strengthened Brazil operations and concentrated control over key assets.
