Mercury NZ lifts FY2026 earnings guidance on stronger renewable generation outlook

Meet Samuel – Your Personal Investing Prophet

An update from Mercury NZ ( (MGHTF) ) is now available.

Mercury NZ, the renewable-focused gentailer listed on both the NZX and ASX, operates a portfolio of hydro, geothermal and wind assets while retailing electricity, gas, broadband and mobile services across New Zealand. Its majority shareholder is the New Zealand Government, which is required by law to retain at least 51% ownership, underlining Mercury’s strategic role in the national energy sector.

The company has raised its FY2026 EBITDAF guidance from $1.0b to $1.05b, citing disciplined portfolio management and higher expected renewable generation from hydro assets and new projects. The upgrade signals stronger anticipated operating performance but remains conditional on factors such as hydrological conditions and potential one-off events, which could still cause the guidance to be revised.
