Memo

ArcelorMittal (MT). Latest full fiscal year: 2025; data up to 2025-12-31.

Figures computed from the financial statements: revenue 61.4 bn USD in 2025; YoY growth -1.7%; net margin 5.1%; ROE 6.1%; net debt/EBITDA 1.0x.

The estimated value range is 78.20–121.52 USD per share (median of 2 methods, agreement: same basis (multiples on one peer group, not independent confirmations)); assumptions are illustrative. Against the central value of 100.86 USD, the price of 62.49 USD leaves a potential of 61.4% (value / price − 1) and a margin of safety of 38.0% (1 − price / value). The range is the median of the methods' low, central and high values, not a probability interval.

olivLaw score 48/100, methodological classification: neutral profile (score, margin of safety and method agreement together; not a judgement of the right price). Groups assessed only in part: returns. Not investment advice.

Text generated deterministically from the figures shown; no language model. Not investment advice.

What supports the thesis

  • Net debt / EBITDA: 1.0x
  • P/E (TTM): 15.2x
  • The price is below the estimated value range

What contradicts it

  • Revenue CAGR 3Y: -8.4%
  • EPS CAGR 3Y: -26.1%
  • Shareholder yield (distributions): 1.1%

Not assessed (insufficient data or a ratio without meaning): FCF conversion, Interest coverage, FCF yield, Payout ratio (FCF).

In brief

ArcelorMittal is one of the world's leading integrated steel and mining companies, with steel-making operations in 14 countries and about 125,554 employees as of December 31, 2025 1. The company is investing now in decarbonization through electric arc furnaces, renewable energy and an expanded iron ore operation in Liberia 1.

SWOT

Strengths

  • The company has a wide geographic footprint and a strong presence in Europe and the Americas, built on diversification and integration with mining 1.
  • Its capacity to return capital to shareholders, through a defined dividend and buyback policy, is a strength confirmed by the annual report 1.
  • The product portfolio is diverse, from flat steel to long products and tubes, which reduces dependence on a single segment 1.

Weaknesses

  • The company carries net debt and capital costs linked to large decarbonization investments, and some projects have been dropped or scaled back 1.
  • Operations in South Africa were wound down and the Bosnian assets were sold, showing the vulnerability of plants that do not stay profitable 1.
  • Reliance on a significant shareholder requires special arrangements to keep voting rights below the 45% threshold 1.

Opportunities

  • Electric arc furnace and low-emission steel projects could open access to automotive markets in the US and Europe 1.
  • Expanding Liberian iron ore and the related rail capacity could strengthen the mining position 1.
  • Renewable projects in India could lower energy costs and emissions for AMNS India 1.

Threats

  • Litigation with the Italian state and ADI administrators could lead to large damages if courts rule against the company 1.
  • Regulatory changes on emissions and carbon costs could affect margins in Europe 1.
  • Swings in demand and raw material prices could weigh on results if markets weaken 1.

Risks

  • Litigation in Italyhigh

    The civil claim against the company and ADI board members, along with the international arbitration, could lead to significant payments if courts decide against the company 1.

  • Decarbonization costshigh

    Investments in electric furnaces and renewable energy are large, and the abandonment of projects in Germany shows plans can be revised if the market does not support them 1.

  • Dependence on the significant shareholdermedium

    The share repurchase agreement with the significant shareholder could limit the company's control of its shareholder structure if conditions change 1.

  • Closure of operationsmedium

    Operations in South Africa were wound down and those in Bosnia sold, illustrating the loss risk for plants that are not profitable 1.

  • Currency and market exposurelow

    Activities across several continents expose the company to currency and price fluctuations, and the report includes significant market risk disclosures 1.

Investment thesis

What would need to be true (bull case)

  • If the electric furnace and NOES projects in the US and France are delivered on time, the company could gain positions in higher value-added segments 1.
  • The capital return policy and rising dividend, supported by share buybacks, could sustain investor interest if free cash flow stays solid 1.
  • Geographic diversification and integration with mining could cushion shocks in particular regions if demand remains balanced 1.

What would break the thesis

  • Litigation in Italy could produce large damages or delays, and the outcome remains uncertain 1.
  • High decarbonization costs could reduce free cash flow and limit buybacks if net debt rises 1.
  • The closure and sale of some plants shows that certain operations can become unprofitable, which could weigh on long-term results 1.

What to watch

  • Progress of the Italian proceedings and the international arbitration2026
  • Progress of the Dunkirk electric furnace and the Calvert NOES project2027

Products, market & competition

AI-generatedAI-generated analysis (Claude) from cited public sources; it may contain errors. Not investment advice. As of 27 Oct 2026 · Model: claude-haiku-5-5.

Possibly outdated: the newest document it read is from 06 Mar 2026; since then the company filed 6-K (04 Nov 2026), 6-K (02 Nov 2026), 6-K (28 Oct 2026), 6-K (26 Oct 2026), 6-K (19 Oct 2026), 6-K (25 Sept 2026).

The business

ArcelorMittal produces a broad range of finished and semi-finished steel, including sheet and plate as well as bars, rods and structural shapes, plus pipes and tubes 1. It sells mainly in local markets and to customers in the automotive, appliance, construction and machinery industries across approximately 126 countries 1. Its mining operations produce iron ore in several forms, and mining is integrated into the group's steel-making plants 1.

The company is a public limited liability company incorporated in Luxembourg, formed by the 2007 merger of Mittal Steel and Arcelor 1. Its production is geographically spread: in 2025, about 40% of crude steel was produced in the Americas and about 53% in Europe 1.

Its strategy rests on global scale, technical capabilities, a diverse portfolio of steel and related businesses, and financial capabilities, aiming to hold leading positions in the most attractive parts of the steel value chain 1.

Segments

Flat and long steel

The company produces sheet and plate as well as bars, rods and structural shapes, for markets with different demand: developed economies favour higher value-added flat products, while developing markets use more long products 1.

Iron ore mining

Mining covers lump, fines, concentrate, pellets and sinter feed from operations in North America, South America, Africa and Europe 1. In January 2026 an amended Liberian agreement extended the duration to 2050, with a right to renew for a further 25 years 1.

Decarbonization and energy

Renewable projects such as the one in Andhra Pradesh aim to cut emissions for AMNS India, while planned electric arc furnaces in France and the US could significantly reduce emissions compared with blast furnaces 1.

Market context

The steel market is split between developed economies, where demand shifts toward higher value-added flat products, and developing markets, where long products and commodity grades dominate 1. The company says its products reach automotive, construction and machinery customers in more than 126 countries, and that US domestic NOES supply remains limited 1.

The shares are listed in New York (MT), Amsterdam, Paris, Luxembourg and Spain, and rose 97% in dollar terms in 2025 compared with 2024 1. The company is a member of approximately 105 indices, including STOXX Europe 600 and CAC40 1.

Trends

  • Electric arc furnace decarbonizationmixed

    The company is building electric arc furnaces in Dunkirk and Mardyck while abandoning its DRI-EAF plans in Germany; if electric furnace costs stay competitive, the transition could continue 1.

  • Steel demand for electric vehiclestailwind

    Demand for NOES, used in electric and hybrid vehicle motors, is growing rapidly in the US, and the Calvert project could address this demand 1.

  • Litigation and arbitration in Italyheadwind

    The ADI damages claim and the arbitration against Italy create uncertainty over the final outcome 1.

  • Share price recovery and capital returnmixed

    The strong share price gain in 2025 and the rising dividend point to a capital return strategy, but it depends on free cash flow and net debt levels 1.

Competitive position

The company competes with other integrated steelmakers and with electric arc furnace producers in Europe, the Americas and Asia 1. Its presence in India through the AMNS India joint venture places it among the larger players in Asia 1.

Its competitive advantages come from geographic diversification, integration with mining, and technical capabilities that allow access to higher value-added segments 1.

  • Nippon Steel

    Partner in AMNS India and former shareholder in AMNS Calvert, with which the company cooperates in the US and India 1.
