We reiterate our BUY on Ignitis and increase our 12M price target (PT) to EUR 26.8/share. We continue to like the company’s stable business model and high earnings predictability: RES operates under fixed-priced PPAs/CfDs, while both the Networks and Reserve Capacities segments are highly regulated. Following a period of elevated investments in 2023-25 (c.EUR 2.5bn), which increased RES capacity from 1.2 GW to 2.1 GW, we expect lower capex in 2026E (EUR 599m, at the lower bound of the guidance)....

The macro backdrop entering 2026E remains broadly supportive for high-dividend strategies across Emerging Europe and the frontier markets, but the opportunity set has clearly narrowed. After a year of sharp repricing across the WOOD universe, the high dividend conditions of 2024-25 have largely disappeared, as a result of many sectors rerating materially. As a result, high-dividend exposure is no longer a broad regional trade: the most compelling opportunities are now concentrated. However, the ...

We transfer coverage of Ignitis, reiterating our BUY rating and setting a price target (PT) of EUR 24.8/share. The company has a diversified earnings mix, with half its 2024 adj. EBITDA generated by RES (Green Capacities) and 41% from gas and power distribution (Networks). Only 8% of Ignitis’ EBITDA is exposed to fossil fuels (Reserve Capacities). This makes Ignitis very “clean” compared to most CEE utilities. The earnings are also predictable: its RES operate on fixed-priced PPAs/CfDs while bot...
