The latest update is out from ArcelorMittal ( (MT) ).
On 10 February 2026, ArcelorMittal confirmed a €1.3 billion investment to build a 2‑million‑tonne electric arc furnace at its Dunkirk, France, site, scheduled to start up in 2029. The project, hailed during a visit by President Emmanuel Macron and French ministers, is designed to cut CO₂ emissions from the plant’s steel output to around one‑third of traditional blast furnace levels.
Half of the investment will be backed by France’s Energy Efficiency Certificates scheme, while recent EU moves on tariff‑rate quotas and reform of the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism, plus a long‑term low‑carbon power contract with EDF, were cited as key to the decision. ArcelorMittal said these conditions underpin its broader European decarbonisation strategy, which also includes a €500 million electrical steel unit coming online this quarter at nearby Mardyck to serve electrification in industrial and automotive markets.
The most recent analyst rating on (MT) stock is a Buy with a $68.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on ArcelorMittal stock, see the MT Stock Forecast page.
Spark’s Take on MT Stock
According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, MT is a Neutral.
MT scores mid-range primarily due to solid financial resilience (low leverage) and improved 2025 profitability, tempered by weak recent free-cash-flow conversion. Technically, the uptrend is strong, but overbought indicators increase near-term risk. Valuation is only modestly supportive (mid P/E, low yield), while the latest earnings call adds a positive outlook and project-driven growth narrative with identifiable cost, policy, and legal uncertainties.
