Why the Eramet mining group wants to lighten up on nickel and lithium
DECRYPTION - The French company plans to sell a significant part of its stake in a giant nickel mine, in Indonesia, and a minority share in lithium, in Argentina.
The French mining group continues its quest for new money. Its objective is to carry out a capital increase by the end of the year which should bring it around 500 million euros. This operation is all the more likely to succeed as the group will benefit from the support of the State, which will on this occasion become its largest shareholder.
But this measure alone will not be enough to restore the group's balance sheet. Eramet lost 370 million in its net profit in 2025. And it must manage a debt of 1.9 billion as of December 31, 2025, an increase of 50% over one year.
As soon as the publication of its 2025 results, Christel Bories, CEO of Eramet, announced its intention to monetize certain of its assets.
