Rating:65Neutral

▲(8.76% Upside)
Action:Reiterated
Date:07/22/26
The score is driven by strong technical positioning (price above key moving averages with positive MACD) and a notably positive earnings-call outlook with reaffirmed growth guidance and solid operational momentum. Offsetting factors are weaker financial flexibility from volatile/thin free cash flow and recent revenue contraction, while valuation is only moderately attractive due to a relatively high P/E despite a supportive dividend yield.
Positive Factors
Regulated networks / RAB expansion
An expanding regulated asset base (RAB) and stepped-up networks investment underpin predictable, tariff‑backed cash flows and stable returns. Higher RAB tilts Iberdrola's earnings mix toward regulated remuneration, reducing merchant exposure and supporting long‑term EBITDA resilience and reinvestment capacity.
Negative Factors
Elevated leverage relative to equity
Sustained debt levels above equity increase interest‑rate and refinancing risk over the medium term. For a capital‑intensive utility, higher leverage constrains financial flexibility, raises cost of capital when rates climb, and limits capacity to de‑risk via rapid debt reduction without compressing growth or payouts.

Iberdrola Earnings Call Summary
Earnings Call Date:Jul 22, 2026
(Q2-2026)
| % Change Since: |
Next Earnings Date:Oct 21, 2026
Earnings Call Sentiment Positive
The call presents a predominantly positive operational and financial picture: strong profit and EBITDA growth, accelerated investment (notably in regulated Networks), an expanded renewables and storage pipeline, accretive M&A (Caruna) and solid liquidity and credit metrics. The main negatives are FX headwinds, higher net debt and some region-specific earnings weakness/one-off impacts (derivatives, asset sales, ancillary costs). Overall the positive drivers (robust earnings growth, larger regulated asset base, pipeline and strong liquidity/ratings) materially outweigh the challenges.Positive Updates

Company Guidance
Iberdrola reaffirmed its 2026 guidance of adjusted net profit growth above 8% (H1 adjusted net profit EUR 3,565m; H1 adjusted EBITDA EUR 8,050m), noting that excluding FX the adjusted net profit could grow ~14%; management said this outlook is supported by strong operational metrics — 100% of expected energy already sold, 1,600 MW commissioned in H1 and 2.1 GW targeted by year‑end (3.5 GW added in the last 12 months), pumped‑storage at ~35% of hydro output with hydro reserves ~8.3 TWh/73% fill — and by continued Networks momentum (RAB up, RIIO‑T3 in the U.K., full-year Neoenergia contribution, Caruna deal) plus accelerated investment (CapEx +25% to >EUR7bn H1, Networks ≈EUR4.4bn ≈2/3 of CapEx), a development pipeline (2.2 GW under construction, +3 GW ready for FID, 4 GW advanced) that could lift capacity additions to 15.5 GW by 2030 (vs 9.5 GW previously), and solid financial headroom (FFO/adj net debt 22.4%, liquidity EUR21.5bn ≈20 months, adj net debt/EBITDA 3.5x, adjusted leverage 45.3%, net debt ~EUR56bn expected year‑end); management also flags AI efficiency gains (300 projects in production, 150 in development, >4,000 trained) worth “hundreds of millions” and said if Q2 trends persist they may upgrade guidance after summer.Iberdrola Financial Statement Overview
