Action:Reiterated
Date:05/04/26
The score is driven primarily by mixed financial fundamentals—solid profitability but weaker recent revenue and free-cash-flow generation—tempered by notable leverage. Offsetting this, the latest earnings call was constructive with upgraded 2026 guidance and improving credit metrics, while technicals and valuation are supportive but not strongly bullish.
Positive Factors
Regulated Networks Momentum
Sustained double-digit Networks EBITDA growth reflects entrenched regulated cash flows and execution on large transmission/distribution contracts. Regulated earnings are less cyclically exposed, supporting durable EBITDA visibility and funding for capex, dividends and deleveraging over the medium term.
Negative Factors
Recent Revenue Contraction
A large recent top-line decline increases uncertainty about sustainable growth and may pressure margins if volume or price recovery stalls. Persistent revenue weakness can constrain reinvestment, slow RAB growth translation, and make earnings targets harder to hit without further network offset.

Iberdrola Earnings Call Summary
Earnings Call Date:Apr 29, 2026
(Q1-2026)
| % Change Since: |
Next Earnings Date:Jul 22, 2026
Earnings Call Sentiment Positive
The call presented multiple clear strengths: double-digit adjusted net profit growth, resilient EBITDA supported by a strong Networks business (notably U.K. and U.S.), large and focused investment accelerating regulated RAB growth, completed asset rotation (Mexico) that improved pro forma leverage, strong liquidity and upgraded guidance for 2026. Offsetting these positives are notable headwinds: FX-driven reporting weakness, weakness in the Power & Customers segment (particularly U.S. timing effects and Iberia ancillary costs), a rising gross debt level (management expects ~EUR 55bn by year-end), and regulatory/operational uncertainties (Spain blackout-related ancillary costs and U.S. regulatory reviews). On balance, the highlights outweigh the lowlights due to the strength and visibility of regulated networks cash flows, improved credit metrics on a pro forma basis, and an upgraded outlook.Positive Updates
Adjusted Net Profit Growth
Adjusted net profit rose 11% year-on-year to EUR 1,865 million in Q1 2026; excluding negative FX effects (~EUR 99 million) adjusted net profit would have grown ~17%.
Negative Updates
Power & Customers Business Pressure
Power & Customers EBITDA fell ~3% to EUR 2.0 billion YoY, with Iberia EBITDA down ~3.2% to EUR 1,002 million (impacted by higher ancillary costs, regulated gas rate and lower prices). U.S. Power EBITDA decreased ~32% to $196 million due to lower wind/thermal contribution and timing effects.

Company Guidance
Iberdrola upgraded 2026 guidance to expect adjusted net profit growth of more than 8% (excluding asset‑rotation capital gains), driven by networks as the main growth engine and supported by strong investment, hedging and cash generation: Q1 adjusted net profit was €1,865m (+11%) and adjusted EBITDA €4.1bn (+2.4%); Q1 investment was €2,705m (€14.5bn L12M) with more than half allocated to the U.K. and U.S. (46% U.K., 26% U.S., 20% Brazil, ~10% Spain), and Iberdrola added 3,300 MW over 12 months (2 GW wind, 1 GW solar, >300 MW storage) and expects to commission a further 2.7 GW in 2026 on top of 1 GW already in Q1. Financial guidance/metrics include a pro‑forma net debt of €50.3bn (reported €51.9bn at March), target year‑end net debt ~€55bn, liquidity €21.4bn (covers 23 months), 77% of debt fixed, adjusted net debt/EBITDA 3.4x (vs 3.7x Q1‑25), adjusted FFO/adj net debt ~24% (vs 21.2%), adjusted leverage 44% (vs 47%), FFO +7% (to ~12%), regulated asset base €53bn (RAB +8% YoY; transmission RAB +29% to €14bn), and production hedges of 100% for 2026, ~80% for 2027 and ~75% for 2028; the company also expects an effective tax rate to move toward ~20% by year‑end.Iberdrola Financial Statement Overview
