Half-year profit edges higher

Electrica reported first-half 2026 operating revenue of RON 6.14 billion, an increase of 1.8 percent from the same period of 2025. Operating profit reached RON 773.1 million, up 9.4 percent, while EBITDA rose 7.7 percent to RON 1.08 billion, the report said.

Analyst targets sit below market price

The latest consensus published by Investing.com is Buy, based on two analysts. The average 12-month price target is RON 32.55, with a high target of RON 49.90 and a low target of RON 15.20.

That average target lies 37.4 percent below the RON 52.00 market price. The spread makes valuation the central counterweight to the recent earnings improvement, particularly because the consensus high target also remains below the October 7 price.
