Published on 09/03/2026 at 08:45 | Editorial responsibility: Rafael Müller, Editor-in-Chief AD HOC NEWS
EDP - Energias de Portugal stock (ISIN PTEDP0AM0009) traded at 4.72 EUR on September 1, 2026 after Jefferies raised its view to buy and set a 5.40 EUR target, according to ad hoc news. The move left the Lisbon-listed utility about 0.68 EUR below the target, equal to 13.9 percent.
Lisbon price stays firm
Market data in the same report put EDP at 4.74 EUR on September 1, 2026 at one point in trading, while the PSI index stood at 9,491.43 points. A separate market note from Lusa said EDP gained 0.90 percent to 4.72 EUR on September 1, 2026.
That puts the stock close to the same-session reference price of 4.701 EUR cited in the ad hoc report and also near the 52-week range shown by market portals, where EDP has been trading in the mid-4 EUR area.
Profit margin matters
The same ad hoc report cited a Q2 2026 profit margin of 9.54 percent, giving the stock a second near-term reference beyond price alone. For investors, the margin is the figure that matters most after a price target change.
Simply Wall St showed EDP with a market capitalization of EUR 18.4 billion, a 1Y return of 19.9 percent and an analyst target of EUR 4.89 in its PSI market overview. Those numbers frame the Lisbon move as a valuation story rather than a one-day spike.
EDP shares and the buy call
The latest rating change and price target set the tone for the Lisbon listing, while the next reported figures keep the valuation debate anchored in numbers.
EDP solar and grids
The Portuguese group remains a utility with integrated and renewables exposure, and its PSI listing keeps it central for domestic investors. The stock is also tracked in DACH coverage, which matters when a Portuguese name gets a fresh analyst call.
EDP stock near 4.72 EUR
EDP stock closed at 4.72 EUR on September 1, 2026 on Euronext Lisbon, while the quote in the ad hoc report sat at 4.74 EUR intraday. The gap is small, but it shows how quickly the market absorbed the rating change.
