E.ON , Europe's largest operator of energy networks, expects core profit to rise by up to 9% in 2025 and upgraded its mid-term outlook, citing record investments in its power grids.
E.ON SE, a leading European distribution system operator, is well-positioned to benefit from the energy transition and digitalization trends. The company plans to invest over €8 billion annually by 2028 to expand and modernize its grid infrastructure, ensuring long-term revenue growth. Despite high debt and negative free cash flow, E.ON's stable, regulated income and attractive dividend yield offer solid return potential for investors.
The development of a green hydrogen market in Germany still depends to a large extent on public spending, utility E.ON said on Friday.
E.ON's latest earnings report led analysts to raise long-term targets, now seeing the company as more undervalued with a target above €16/share. Despite decent earnings and maintained guidance, E.ON's valuation and low dividend yield make it a "HOLD" with a price target of €11.5/share. E.ON's focus on networks, retail sales, and renewables, alongside increased CapEx for 2024-2028, positions it well but with limited upside.
