UBS target rises to EUR 20

First-half earnings support guidance

Europe Says reported on September 17, 2026, that E.ON lifted first-half adjusted EBITDA from EUR 5.3 billion in 2025 to EUR 5.4 billion in 2026. Adjusted net income increased from EUR 1.8 billion to EUR 1.9 billion over the same period.

The company continued to target adjusted operating earnings of EUR 9.4 billion to EUR 9.6 billion for fiscal year 2026 and net income of EUR 2.7 billion to EUR 2.9 billion, according to the same September 2026 report. The comparison matters because earnings growth and the unchanged full-year range provide the fundamental counterweight to the share price's distance from its annual high.
