Hera (ISIN IT0001250932) was trading at EUR 3.48 at Lang & Schwarz on October 7, 2026 at 9:15 a.m. CEST, 21.80 percent below its 52-week high of EUR 4.45. A Reuters report carried by TradingView said on September 10, 2026 that Tomaso Tommasi di Vignano, Hera's former chairman, had died.

H1 results strengthen the base

According to Hera on July 29, 2026, net profit for the first half of 2026 rose 16 percent and investments increased 56 percent from the previous period. The company said the results supported its infrastructure program and confirmed its targets for external growth during 2026.

The operating message matters because Hera combines energy, water and environmental services rather than relying on one business line. Its investor page describes a customer base of 4 million and a five-year plan that prioritizes networks, energy transition and circular-economy projects.

2029 targets set a measurable test

Hera targets EBITDA of EUR 1.76 billion by 2029 and total investments above EUR 5.5 billion. Structural earnings per share are expected to grow at an average annual rate of 6 percent, while the planned dividend reaches EUR 0.19 per share by 2029.

Those targets give investors a clear yardstick for the next results release. The scheduled third-quarter 2026 disclosure is November 11, 2026, according to Hera.
