Nexans Secures Five-Year Low-Carbon Aluminium Supply for European Grid Projects Nexans has signed a five-year agreement with Hydro to secure about 85,000 tonnes of low-carbon aluminium wire rod, produced using 100% renewable energy in Norway, to support Europe’s grid modernisation projects.
The deal locks in long-term access to low-carbon materials for electricity infrastructure, aligning Nexans’ cable business with Europe’s energy transition priorities and aiming to strengthen supply security for growing grid investment needs.
Nexans’ share price is around €141.20, with the stock up about 10.1% year to date, while this supply agreement adds further visibility on a key input for its European operations.
This kind of long-term, low-carbon supply contract can matter for Nexans’ margins and project execution risk, since aluminium is a core raw material and grid work often runs on multi-year timetables. Live-nieuws • Jul 04
Nexans Sells Autoelectric Wiring Business to Motherson for €207 Million Completion Nexans has completed the sale of its Autoelectric wiring harness business to Samvardhana Motherson International for an enterprise value of €207 million, with Autoelectric to be deconsolidated from Nexans as of 1 July 2026.
The deal removes Nexans’ last non-electrification activity, following a portfolio rotation started in 2021, and shifts a business that generated about €708 million in annual sales and employed nearly 13,000 people outside the group perimeter.
Nexans shares trade at €142.00, with the stock up 10.7% year to date.
This transaction simplifies Nexans’ profile into a pure electrification company and frees capital that can be redirected to its core grid and electrification activities. It also means the group will no longer consolidate a sizeable revenue contributor once the deconsolidation takes effect. Buy Or Sell Opportunity • Jul 02

New minor risk - Earnings quality The company has large one-off items impacting its financial results. One-off items were 26% of the size of the rest of the company's trailing 12-month earnings before tax. This is considered a minor risk. One-off items are incomes or expenses that the company does not expect to repeat in future periods. Examples include profits from the sale of a business or expenses from a restructuring or legal settlements. If the company's reported statutory earnings include a large proportion of one-off items it means they may be an unreliable indicator of its true business performance as the earnings were skewed by these incomes or expenses. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Earnings are forecast to decline by an average of 6.0% per year for the foreseeable future.

New minor risk - Share price stability The company's share price has been volatile over the past 3 months. It is more volatile than 75% of French stocks, typically moving 7.1% a week. This is considered a minor risk.

It also increases the risk of potential losses in the short term as the stock tends to have larger drops in price more frequently than other stocks. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Minor Risks Unstable dividend paying track record with dividend experiencing an annual drop of over 20% in the past.

Nexans Launches Unique Cable Recycling and Recovery Service in France and Europe: CABLELOOP Nexans is launching a unique cable recycling and recovery service in France and Europe: CABLELOOP. Nexans is stepping up its recycling strategy to support the energy transition and address the growing copper shortage. This necessary transformation is creating an opportunity for Nexans to set itself apart in the sector by leveraging its unique capabilities and agility. The company is launching its turnkey CableLoop service: collecting installation cable off-cuts and transporting them to the recycling centre, and then transforming the waste into recycled raw materials. A pioneer in electrification, the Group aims to use a minimum of 30% recycled copper in the manufacturing of its cables by 2030. At a time when demand for electricity is set to increase by 35% by 2050, and the world is heading for a risk of shortages of raw materials - including copper, Nexans is strengthening its key role as a player in the circular economy to speed up the energy and climate transition. By actively investing in the recycling of non-ferrous metals, Nexans is promoting the creation of a sustainable cycle geared towards decarbonized energy: extended life cycles, reuse and recycling will contribute to a circular economy, reducing the use of virgin resources and lowering the carbon footprint created by the electrification of activities. Nexans already recycles over 40,000 metric tons of its own production waste every year. In Europe, this cable sorting and recovery process is partly carried out through the RecyCables joint venture created with Suez in Noyelles-Godault (northwestern France). As well as guaranteeing product traceability, local processing avoids the need to export large quantities of waste from France. With 60 years' experience in recycling cable waste, Nexans is stepping up its circular economy strategy and is launching CableLoop, a unique recycling and recovery service for cable offcuts. Nexans buys used cables - end of construction site electrical wires or obsolete industrial cables, and transforms them into valuable, infinitely reusable resources for its partners, customers, suppliers and the cable industry. Two versions of the service are available: CABLELOOP Enterprises: the service for companies via on-site collection. CABLELOOP Professionals: a new service offered by specialized distributors, for professional customers and electricians who can return their used cables to their branch. With these new recycling loops, Nexans aims to collect more than 800 metric tons of used cables by 2025 and to expand this circular model by developing waste collection and recovery from the industrial ecosystem and from its electrical equipment installation and distribution partners in France and Europe. Nexans will offer tailor-made logistics solutions and simplified, autonomous waste management on a 24-hour web platform together with traceability of the entire chain of operations.
