Montega starts coverage with target price of EUR 21.00 and a “Buy” recommendation 

• Research report highlights IBU-tec's outstanding position as the only European LFP manufacturer

• Montega forecasts sales revenues of EUR 84 million and EBITDA of EUR 12.5 million for 2028

Weimar, 4 November 2025 – Montega AG has started its coverage of the shares of IBU-tec advanced materials AG (“IBU-tec”, ISIN: DE000A0XYHT5). In its initial coverage report titled “The heat is on”, Montega rates the share as a “Buy” with a target price of EUR 21.00. The closing price (XETRA) on 31 October 2025 was EUR 18.65.

The report places particular emphasis on IBU-tec’s strong positioning as the only European manufacturer of LFP cathode materials on an industrial scale. According to Montega, the recently intensified cooperation with PowerCo (see ad-hoc disclosure of 6 October 2025) is expected to lead to a significant increase in revenues and EBITDA over the coming years. Montega estimates that by 2028, the Battery Materials business unit will account for around 59% of IBU-tec Group’s total sales revenues (2024: 19%). Consequently, Montega forecasts Group revenues of around EUR 84 million for 2028 (2024: EUR 50.6 million). EBITDA is expected to rise disproportionately to around EUR 12.5 million (2024: EUR 1.0 million), corresponding to an EBITDA margin of 15.0% (2024: 2.0%). For 2026, the research report anticipates EBITDA of EUR 5.0 million for sales revenues of EUR 43 million.

With the commissioning of the new large-scale LFP production plant in Bitterfeld in 2028, the research house also expects highly profitable growth in the following years. Analyst Patrick Speck writes: “We are confident that the second phase of the transformation into a “Battery Company” will likewise be successful, enabling the Group’s revenue and profitability to reach new dimensions within just a few years.”
