Iberdrola stock trades at EUR 21.11 on BME before the company's nine-month results on October 21, 2026. The Spanish utility enters that report after first-half reported net profit rose 22 percent to EUR 4.33 billion, giving the upcoming figures a clear performance benchmark.

First-half profit sets the benchmark

According to Iberdrola, first-half 2026 adjusted EBITDA reached EUR 8.05 billion. The company also reported EUR 7 billion of investment during the period, with 63 percent allocated to networks.

The operating mix matters for the October report because network investment is tied to the group's regulated asset base and long-term earnings visibility. Renewable generation reached 61,318 GWh in the first half of 2026, while the company said its strategic plan targets EUR 7.6 billion of net profit in 2028.

Analysts raise the bar

Goldman Sachs upgraded Iberdrola from Neutral to Buy on October 1, 2026, and lifted its price target from EUR 21 to EUR 25, according to El Fondo. The bank's new target was based on expected earnings growth, dividends and heavier investment in electricity grids.

Expansion reported that the market consensus stood at EUR 20.93, based on 31 recommendations: 14 Buy, 16 Hold and 1 Sell. The average target sits below the October 6 intraday price, making the October results important for testing whether earnings momentum can support the recent analyst optimism.

October results bring the next test

Iberdrola lists October 21, 2026, for its nine-month 2026 results presentation. The company also reported on October 1, 2026, that it had completed the expansion of its alliance with GIC in Brazilian transmission networks.

Stock stays below its yearly high

Iberdrola stock was trading at EUR 21.11 on BME on October 6, 2026, at 1:49 p.m. CEST, up 0.52 percent from the prior close. The price remained EUR 0.97 below the 52-week high of EUR 22.08, while market capitalization stood at EUR 140.9 billion.
