EDP - Energias de Portugal stock (ISIN PTEDP0AM0009) traded at 4.74 EUR on September 1, 2026 on Euronext Lisbon after a recent session where market data showed the PSI index at 9,491.43 points and EDP shares listed at a last price around 4.701 EUR, highlighting the utilities group as one of the notable movers in Lisbon according to an article on ad-hoc-news.de based on information from Jornal Economico and Euronext.
Jefferies upgrade supports valuation
According to an analysis summary reported by ad-hoc-news.de, Jefferies recently raised its recommendation on EDP shares to a buy rating and set a new target price of 5.40 EUR, providing an upside potential of about 13.9 % compared with the closing level of 4.74 EUR on September 1, 2026.
The same report notes that the Euronext PSI index, in which EDP is a major component, stood at 9,491.43 points in its recent session, with a 52-week range between 7,639.00 and 9,550.72 points, underscoring how the broader Portuguese market and EDP stock have moved significantly higher over the past year on renewed interest in utilities and energy transition themes.
Recent quarterly fundamentals
Market data compiled by Yahoo Finance indicate that in EDPs second quarter of fiscal year 2026 the company generated revenue of about 3.71 billion EUR and earnings of approximately 353.97 million EUR, corresponding to a profit margin of 9.54 % for that quarter.
The same quarterly overview illustrates how EDPs Q2 2026 revenue compares with previous quarters in fiscal year 2025 and fiscal year 2026, showing that revenue has stayed in a range around the mid single digit billions while profitability in Q2 2026 improved versus some earlier quarters, as seen in the plotted sequence of margins from Q3 2025 through Q2 2026 on the Yahoo Finance chart.
For investors, the combination of a near 10 % profit margin in Q2 2026 and a Jefferies target about 13.9 % above the recent 4.74 EUR share price provides a quantitative framework for assessing whether the current valuation reflects EDPs earnings power and pipeline in regulated networks and renewable generation.
Trading in Lisbon and Germany
EDP shares trade primarily on Euronext Lisbon under the ticker EDP.LS, but there is also activity in Germany, where financial portal data for a German listing referencing ISIN PTEDP0AM0009 show a separate quote around 3.83 EUR as of a recent close on a German venue according to the stock overview on boerse.de.
The Lisbon closing price of 4.72 EUR on September 1, 2026 reported by Yahoo Finance for EDP.LS, which reflects a daily advance of 0.90 %, can be compared with this German reference price, illustrating how liquidity and pricing differ slightly between the home market and secondary German trading segments that offer access to EDP stock for investors in the DACH region.
Sector reports such as a recent article on O Povo about European markets noted that energy names like EDP and Galp were gaining around 1.3 % and 0.98 % respectively in Lisbon on September 1, 2026, underlining how Portuguese utilities participated in a broader move within European energy stocks driven by shifts in bond yields and geopolitical concerns.
Renewables and networks remain core business
EDP - Energias de Portugal operates across generation, distribution and retail, with a strong strategic emphasis on renewable generation through its listed subsidiary EDP Renewables and on regulated electricity distribution in Portugal via E-REDES, whose English language site introduces its role as the electricity distribution operator in Portugal and highlights digital tools for customers such as contact via messaging apps for outage reporting.
Within this framework, EDP has positioned its capital expenditure toward wind and solar projects in Europe and the Americas, while relying on stable regulated asset bases in Iberian networks to support dividends; although detailed segment figures for Q2 2026 are not broken out in the available summary, the overall revenue of 3.71 billion EUR and earnings of 353.97 million EUR in that quarter show the scale at which these segments operate together.
Stock valuation and investor perspective
At a closing price of 4.72 EUR for EDP.LS as of September 1, 2026 on Euronext Lisbon, EDP - Energias de Portugal stock trades not far below the 5.40 EUR target cited by Jefferies, leaving upside of around 0.68 EUR per share or 13.9 %, while also reflecting the improved profit margin of 9.54 % recorded in Q2 2026.
