Europe's largest utility Iberdrola posted on Wednesday a first-quarter net profit of 1.71 billion euros ($2.00 billion), largely in line with the median forecast by analysts polled by LSEG of 1.72 billion euros, after its electricity output rose 1.6%.
Spain's energy and antitrust watchdog CNMC observed anomalous behaviours at several of Iberdrola's power plants, but did not directly link them to last year's unprecedented blackout, the company's CEO for Spain said on Monday.
Iberdrola has put on hold for now the attempted sale of a minority stake in a roughly 1-gigawatt Spanish solar energy portfolio, according to two people familiar with the matter.
Iberdrola is a global renewable utility leader, with 65% of business outside Spain and ~86% of generation from renewables. Despite a premium valuation (P/E 32.4, PEG 3.99), IBDRY remains a buy due to strong regulated asset base growth and revenue visibility. IBDRY targets expanding its regulated asset base from €51B to €70B by 2028, supported by €58B in strategic investments and robust cash flow.
