Net recurring income attributable to the group reached EUR 3.00 billion, broadly stable from the first half of 2025.

Cash flow from operations reached EUR 6.90 billion in the first half, while capital expenditure totaled EUR 22.90 billion, including the EUR 19.00 billion UK Power Networks acquisition.

What dates matter next?

Stock holds above the nuclear date

The EUR 23.00 Lang & Schwarz quote leaves the stock EUR 4.20 below HSBC's revised target, while the upcoming nuclear timetable gives the market a concrete catalyst. The next results update will test whether the upgraded earnings path is translating into further operational progress.
