Endesa (ES0130670112) was trading at EUR 42.56 at Lang & Schwarz on October 6, 2026 at 10:48 a.m. CEST, up 0.88 percent from the prior close of EUR 42.19. The utility's latest corporate action was a EUR 21.61 million capital reduction through the cancellation of 18.006 million treasury shares on September 29, 2026, according to Endesa.

Buyback reduces share capital

The cancelled shares came from the third and fourth tranches of Endesa's share buyback program. Democrata reported that the operation leaves the company with 1,023.74 million shares and share capital of EUR 1,228.49 million once formalities are completed.

The transaction changes the share count rather than the operating outlook. That distinction matters because the next valuation test remains the earnings path and the ability to convert the strong first-half performance into recurring profit.

First-half earnings reset the benchmark

In the first half of 2026, Endesa delivered EBITDA of EUR 3.20 billion, up 20.00 percent year over year, while net income rose 41.00 percent to EUR 1.50 billion. Earnings per share increased 46.00 percent to EUR 1.44, according to Yahoo Finance.

Management also raised its 2026 net ordinary income guidance to more than EUR 2.40 billion. The second-quarter figures provide a quantified comparison: revenue reached EUR 5.08 billion, up 3.50 percent from EUR 4.91 billion in the year-earlier quarter, while net income reached EUR 745.00 million versus EUR 458.00 million.

Stock sits 2.83 percent below high

Endesa's EUR 42.56 Lang & Schwarz price was 2.83 percent below the 52-week high of EUR 43.80 and 55.97 percent above the 52-week low of EUR 27.30 on October 6, 2026. Market capitalization stood at EUR 43.6 billion, while the IBEX 35-listed utility is scheduled to report third-quarter 2026 results on October 28, 2026, a date listed by Simply Wall St.
