REN : A new framework for growth monetisation

We are upgrading our recommendation on REN to Outperform after the recent positive developments regarding the proposed remuneration for the next regulatory period in Electricity Transmission (6.43% effective rate of return vs current 5.5%) and the removal of the Special Tax on natural gas (€ 10m annual impact) and other favourable tax effects, which will materially improve REN’s normalised cash conversion rate (from 20% of EBITDA to c.40%). We raise our TP to € 3.8 (+40%: DCF, 9.7x implied EV/ EBITDA 2026e, 1.23x adj. RAB) and consider that its historical discount to the sector (25%) is no longer justified.
