Umicore Shares Dive After Groupe Bruxelles Lambert Sells Half of Stake

Dow Jones

Nov 18, 2025

By Ian Walker

Umicore shares fell after Groupe Bruxelles Lambert said it sold 19.6 million shares of the Brussels-listed materials-tech and recycling group for 300 million euros ($347.8 million).

Shares were down 12%, at 14.88 euros in early afternoon European trading, leading the STOXX 600 index fallers. They are currently up 49% over the year to date.

GBL said Tuesday that the shares sold represent about 8% of Umicore's issued share capital and half of its stake in the company. The shares were sold via a bookbuild program.

The investment holding company said the sale was in line with the company's portfolio simplification objective.

GBL shares were down 0.8 euros, or 1.1%, at 73.05 euros. They are currently up 11% over the year to date.
