Author presents a bull case for Metlen (MTLN) on the LSE, citing diversified industrial operations, a Leopard 2A8 tank component contract, and a European gallium production facility backed by an EIB loan, while flagging Greek discount, energy price, and execution risks.
MTLN.L — LONG The author argues Metlen is a diversified industrial group spanning energy, metals and defence, giving it multiple revenue streams rather than pure mining exposure. Catalysts include a confirmed KNDS Deutschland contract to manufacture Leopard 2A8 tank components running into the next decade, and a planned Europe-first industrial-scale gallium facility in Greece targeting ~50 tonnes per year with a €90m EIB loan, at a P/E around 9. Stated risks are a possible 'Greek discount' in investor perception, lower energy prices hurting the energy segment, and execution risk on the new gallium project.
It is building what is expected to be Europe’s first industrial-scale gallium production facility in Greece.
