Iberdrola stock gains 0.60 percent on BME trading

Iberdrola stock traded at EUR 20.24 on BME at 2:32 p.m. UTC on September 24, 2026, up 0.60 percent from the previous close of EUR 20.12. The move came as investors assessed the utility's earnings trajectory and a fresh analyst view.

Profit reaches EUR 4.34 billion

Iberdrola reported net profit of EUR 4.34 billion for the first half of 2026, an increase of 22 percent from the year-earlier period, according to Iberdrola. Adjusted EBITDA reached EUR 8.05 billion, while investment totaled EUR 7 billion in the same period.

The earnings mix points to the strategic importance of networks. Iberdrola said 63 percent of first-half investment was allocated to networks, giving the business a larger regulated component as power demand and grid requirements rise.

Bernstein keeps EUR 20 target

Bernstein Research retained its Market-Perform rating and EUR 20 price target for Iberdrola in a sector study dated September 23, 2026, according to finanzen.at. The analyst cited weaker hydropower production across most European regions during a historically dry summer, with the United Kingdom as the exception.

The target is EUR 0.24 below the September 24 intraday price, a difference of 1.19 percent. That narrow gap puts the analyst view close to the market quotation, while the company earnings figures offer a separate test for the valuation.

Stock stays below yearly high

Iberdrola's market capitalization was EUR 135,064,384,284 on September 24, 2026. The 52-week range was EUR 15.54 to EUR 22.08, leaving the intraday price EUR 1.84 below the yearly high and EUR 4.70 above the yearly low.

The share price therefore combines a 0.60 percent intraday gain with a position 8.33 percent below the 52-week high. For investors, the key comparison is between the 22 percent first-half profit increase and the limited distance to Bernstein's EUR 20 target.
