Are Utilities Stocks Lagging Enel (ENLAY) This Year?
Here is how Enel SpA (ENLAY) and Telecom Argentina (TEO) have performed compared to their sector so far this year.
Enel: Higher-Quality Earnings Support Further Upside
Enel's Q1 results showed 4% EBITDA and net profit growth, with regulated networks now comprising 42% of EBITDA, offsetting weaker renewables and thermal generation. As ENLAY increasingly resembles an infrastructure platform rather than a traditional utility, the company may justify a higher valuation multiple over time. Ongoing buybacks create additional upside optionality.
Enel assets worth nearly $4 billion at risk over Brazil concession, auditors say

A unit of Italy's Enel in Sao Paulo, at risk of having its contract to distribute power taken away because of alleged poor performance, could sell it to another company to avoid a financial loss, the head of Brazil's power regulator Aneel said on Thursday.
Brazil power regulator advances process against Enel unit in Sao Paulo
Brazil's power regulator Aneel decided on Tuesday to move forward with a forfeiture process that could ultimately lead to the termination of a concession held by a local unit of Italian power company Enel in Sao Paulo, preventing the automatic renewal of its contract.
Enel: Entering A New Growth Phase
Enel moves into a new phase driven by higher CAPEX (especially in grids and renewables), with strong visibility from regulated RAB-based earnings and ~15 GW renewable expansion. EPS growth is expected at 5–6% CAGR (above consensus), supported by rising dividends and potential buybacks beyond €3.5 billion. Given the escalation in the Middle East, we expect a renewed focus on energy security in the EU, which is supportive for Enel and the broader sector. We remain buyers.
