ADVISOR CONFIGURATION DEPRECATED

1. Investment Thesis — Base Case

Iberdrola is positioned to deliver steady, compounding growth driven by its robust networks business (now ~50% of capital allocation) and selective renewables expansion. The complete consolidation of Avangrid simplifies the corporate structure and enhances US earnings visibility. We expect the company to meet its strategic plan target of €7.6 billion net profit by 2026, supported by asset rotation and stable regulatory frameworks in key markets (Spain, UK, US, Brazil). While valuation at €18.27 is fuller than historical averages, it is justified by the defensive nature of its regulated assets and superior execution track record. Moderate dividend growth and mid-single-digit earnings expansion support a 'Buy' rating with a balanced risk-reward profile.

2. Scenarios & Signals

2.1. Bull Case

In the bull case, Iberdrola successfully capitalizes on the full integration of Avangrid, realizing synergies faster than anticipated and securing favorable rate cases in the US (NY and ME). A sustained drop in ECB and Fed interest rates lowers financing costs for its capital-intensive pipeline, boosting net profit margins beyond the €7.6 billion 2026 target. Accelerated deployment of offshore wind projects in the UK (East Anglia) and the US (Vineyard Wind) faces minimal supply chain friction, while high electricity prices in Europe improve merchant generation spreads. The stock re-rates to a premium valuation (18x P/E) as it cements its status as the global 'green major', attracting massive ESG inflows.

2.2. Bear Case

The bear case envisions a resurgence of inflation leading to 'higher for longer' interest rates, significantly increasing debt servicing costs and compressing project IRRs. Regulatory headwinds intensify, with potential adverse rulings in US rate cases for Avangrid or renewed windfall taxes in Spain and the UK impacting retained earnings. Execution risks materialize in the offshore wind portfolio, with cost blowouts or delays in the East Anglia or US projects. Furthermore, a drop in wholesale power prices due to demand destruction or oversupply weighs on the liberalized generation business. The market de-rates the stock to historical lows (12-13x P/E) as growth slows below 3% annually.
