ELIA - Charged the battery... But mind the range

Last Friday, Elia Group successfully completed its capital increase of € 591m through a rights issue. 88.64% of the rights were exercised, the other 11.36% was placed through a private placement. Following the increased equity, we reviewed our ROE estimates and had a look on Elia Group's balance sheet structure going forward. As a result of the significant capex uptake, we believe Elia Group will need to tap in to the equity markets faster than one would expect. This is without considering any inorganic growth. We rate the stock HOLD and set our TP at € 129.
