Elia Group FY26 outlook powered by German unit 50Hz, model update

Elia initiated a strong FY26 outlook for Net Group Profit between EUR 690m and 740m vs. our new estimate of 699m. The outlook is now based on a 10y OLO of 3.2% vs. 3.1% previously and a 10y bund of 2.8% vs. 2.5%. In Germany (50Hz), the outlook is particularly strong thanks to high Capex remuneration and Interest capitalisation. We expect Elia shares to consolidate its strong performance as it has been a good hiding place in the current market uncertainty. Grids have become part of the Datacenter gold-rush and are relatively well insulated from energy price increases. For the next 12 months, we do not expect Elia to raise capital as the Capex plan is skewed toward FY27-28. The next AGM is planned for 19/5 and could ask for permission to increase capital, but rather as an opportunistic potential. We raise our FY26-28 net profit estimates, but maintain our Accumulate rating and €135 target price after the recent multiple expansion.
