what happened

Italian utility Enel has reported its nine-month results for 2026, according to Reuters. Ordinary net income reached 6 billion euros against a consensus of 5.74 billion euros, while ordinary EBITDA came in at 17.9 billion euros versus expectations of 17.703 billion euros. Revenue for the period totalled 65.02 billion euros.

Net debt at the end of September stood at 66.16 billion euros, above the consensus of 65.427 billion euros. The company declared a 2026 interim dividend of 0.25 euros per share, payable on January 20, 2027. Its 2026 earnings per share forecast is about 0.74 euros, at the high end of guidance. Electricity production over the nine months reached 146.82 TWh.

why it matters

The market is weighing two opposing signals: operating results beat expectations, but debt grew faster than forecast. Investors will watch how higher borrowings affect the investment plan and shareholder payouts.
