Veolia's portfolio transformation gained fresh substance on November 5, when the group said it had signed 570 million euros of divestments under its plan exceeding 2 billion euros. In a Veolia press release, management said the transactions were ahead of schedule and valuation expectations.

Veolia stock traded at 34.30 euros on Lang & Schwarz at 17:46 CET on Tuesday, November 10, 2026, 0.64 percent below the Xetra close of Tuesday, November 10. The latest price provides the immediate trading context, while the portfolio measures are more relevant for the medium-term investment case.

What changed in the portfolio

Veolia said more than 8 billion euros of assets had been rotated since the launch of GreenUp. Acquisitions have focused primarily on Boosters and technology, representing 90 percent of the acquisition effort, while 80 percent has targeted international markets.

The signed disposals carry an average valuation of about 10.4 times EBITDA. The company is targeting completion of the disposal program by mid-2028, with non-strategic, non-top-three and mature activities in scope. Listed transactions include facility management in France, industrial cleaning in Belgium, oil recycling in Europe, recycling activities in the Netherlands and South Korea, dry waste in the Czech Republic and a minority stake in a UK energy-from-waste facility.

Growth and outlook remain intact

Veolia's nine-month 2026 revenue reached 33.310 billion euros, up 2.6 percent at constant scope and exchange rates excluding energy prices. Third-quarter growth accelerated to 5.0 percent, supported particularly by international operations and Water. EBITDA rose 5.1 percent to 5.404 billion euros, while the margin expanded by 50 basis points to 16.2 percent.

Management reaffirmed its 2026 objectives, including organic EBITDA growth of 5 percent to 6 percent and growth of at least 8 percent in current net income attributable to the group at constant exchange rates, including Clean Earth. The integration of the US environmental-services business has started successfully, adding another execution focus for investors.
