Action:Reiterated
Date:07/24/26
The score is driven primarily by improved current financial condition (recovered profitability and more manageable leverage) but held back by multi-year revenue and cash-flow volatility. Technicals are mixed with neutral momentum and an only partially recovered longer-term trend. Valuation is fair-to-slightly expensive on P/E, partly supported by the dividend. The earnings call adds modest support via reiterated guidance, strong liquidity and cash flow, tempered by Q2 weakness and reduced 2026 nuclear output guidance.
Positive Factors
Strong liquidity and conservative leverage
Robust liquidity and a modest net-debt/EBITDA (1.4x) provide durable financial flexibility for a capital-intensive utility. This supports committed capex, dividend policy, M&A (e.g., Elmera), and preserves investment-grade access through cyclical swings in prices and generation availability.
Negative Factors
Multi-year revenue and cash-flow volatility
Historic swings in revenue, earnings and cash flow reflect exposure to hydrology, market prices and nuclear availability. Such structural volatility complicates capital planning, dividend predictability and leverage management, requiring conservative buffers and active hedging to sustain long-term financial resilience.

Fortum OYJ Earnings Call Summary
Earnings Call Date:Jul 21, 2026
(Q2-2026)
| % Change Since: |
Next Earnings Date:Oct 28, 2026
Earnings Call Sentiment Positive
The call balanced near-term operational and market headwinds (weaker Q2 comparable profit and EPS, lower achieved power price, reduced ancillary services income, constrained nuclear output and higher fixed costs) against strong cash generation, a robust balance sheet and liquidity position, positive H1 results, a maintained full-year optimization premium guidance for 2026 (EUR 8–10/MWh), and a strategic, value-accretive proposed acquisition (Elmera) that expands scale in Consumer Solutions. Taken together the positives (liquidity, cash flow, H1 improvement, strategic M&A and clear guidance) outweigh the contained operational and market lowlights.Positive Updates

Company Guidance
Fortum reiterated detailed financial and operational guidance: hedges for the rest of 2026 are €40/MWh at an 80% hedge ratio and for 2027 €41/MWh at a 65% hedge ratio; the optimization premium is guided at €8–10/MWh for 2026 (longer‑term 2027+ at €6–8/MWh). Nuclear output for 2026 is now estimated at 23–23.5 TWh (below the ~26 TWh normal level; range reduced by 0.5 TWh). Committed capex is €550m for 2026 (ex‑acquisitions) and €2.0bn for 2026–2030 (of which €750m is growth), with annual maintenance capex ~€250m. They expect a comparable effective tax rate of 18–20%, aim to maintain investment‑grade with a leverage ceiling of 2.5x (Q2 net debt/EBITDA 1.4x; net debt €1.8bn end‑Q2, €1.5bn at Q2 start by new definition), gross debt €3.8bn excl. leases, liquidity reserves €6.5bn (€2.1bn cash + €4.4bn undrawn facilities), cost of debt ~3.1% and interest income on cash ~2.1%; dividend policy remains 60–90% of net profit (cash dividend €0.74/share, €664m paid).Fortum OYJ Financial Statement Overview
