Utilities continue to screen attractively versus history and US peers, while Enel benefits from scale in renewables, regulated networks, and an emerging third earnings pillar linked to data centers. Preliminary 2025 results confirm resilient earnings, strong network performance, and disciplined capital allocation, with leverage materially reduced and renewed flexibility for selective M&A. Rolling forward 2026 estimates, Enel trades at a discount to US peers and offers a combination of earnings growth and yield, supporting a c.20% total return potential.

Enel Chile benefits from a diversified generation mix where CCGT and hydro plants provide reliable cash flow while renewables expand growth potential. The company is increasing renewable capacity and deploying BESS projects to optimize energy dispatch and capture additional revenue. Stable cash flow and disciplined CapEx management support predictable FFO and a payout policy targeting 50–70% of cash flow.
Here is how Enel SpA (ENLAY) and E.ON SE (EONGY) have performed compared to their sector so far this year.
Enel's H1 results confirm strong operational performance, driven by grid and renewables, with a successful divestment program and improved capital allocation. The company announced a €1 billion buyback (up to €3.5 billion by 2027) and maintains a solid dividend policy, enhancing shareholder returns. Enel's net financial debt decreased, FCF remained robust, and 90% of EBITDA is secured until 2027. With a valuation discount vs. peers, our buy is confirmed.
Enel (ENLAY) might move higher on growing optimism about its earnings prospects, which is reflected by its upgrade to a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy).
Enel's management shift redirected investments from renewables to Italian grid upgrades, raising political, geographic and business concentration risks. Recent strong earnings were driven by renewables, but future growth is threatened by reduced renewable investment and increased focus on Italy. Shareholder returns are being boosted by buybacks and dividends, but these are now funded by new debt, eroding previous financial discipline.
The energy company said the deal with Gulf Pacific Power will increase its consolidated renewable capacity in the U.S. by 285 megawatts.
Enel and Abu Dhabi's Masdar could join forces on energy storage assets in Italy, Flavio Cattaneo, the chief executive of Italy's biggest utility, said on Friday.
Enel is deleveraging while increasing its EBITDA. 90% of 2025-27 EBITDA is secured, offering downside protection and earnings growth visibility. ENLAY offers downside risks thanks to a limited US exposure and almost no FX impact. Enel's valuation remains attractive compared to peers, with potential buybacks and cost reductions expected to drive further EPS and net income growth.
