(IBESM; Baa1/BBB+/BBB+)
No real surprises for us here, with the recent equity raise underpinning increasing investments.
- Iberdrola has announced an updated €58bn investment plan for 2025-28.
- That averages at €14.5bn p.a., up from €13.5bn previously.
- 64% of that is earmarked for networks, with the rest for renewables.
- The regional share for UK/US is 65%, up from 40% in the prior period.
- Targeting €18bn EBITDA for FY28, 75% regulated/contracted share, up from 72%.
- €52bn of cash flow expected, with €13bn asset rotation. After dividends, that implies a roughly €12bn funding gap at the middle of its dividend payout range. It recently raised €5bn equity.
- Committed to current ratings.
