€89.00
▲(3.79% Upside)
Action:Reiterated
Date:08/01/26
The score is primarily driven by improving fundamentals—profitability has recovered and free cash flow is substantial—tempered by still-meaningful leverage and recent free-cash-flow decline. Technicals are mixed (short-term strength but below longer-term averages), while valuation appears reasonable based on a 13.3 P/E.
Positive Factors
Earnings recovery and profitability
The return to positive profitability from a 2021 loss and very low 2023 net margin indicates improved operating execution. Sustained EBIT generation can strengthen internal funding capacity if demand and project delivery remain stable.
Negative Factors
Meaningful leverage remains
Debt remains roughly comparable with equity, leaving Viridien exposed to refinancing, interest, and demand-cycle risks. For a business tied to exploration spending, leverage can constrain investment and amplify pressure during weaker project conditions.
