BKW : Short-term headwinds vs long-term opportunities

Despite lowered market expectations for 2026-27 after the recent profit warning, we still fear that consensus estimates are rather ambitious. Together with assumed lower ROCEs due to high investments in the coming years, various regulatory uncertainties (e.g. EU-CH electricity agreement), as well as lower electricity prices and volatilities, we assume limited investors’ appetite for BKW in the short term. We initiate research coverage with a Neutral rating, despite undemanding valuation. Our target price of CHF 160 indicates upside of less than 10%.
