What supports the higher target?

Jefferies tied its view to Iberdrola's network expansion and expects third-quarter 2026 adjusted EBITDA of EUR 3.70 billion, according to Investing.com. The EUR 20.70 target is EUR 0.92 below the Lang & Schwarz price, making the valuation gap more important than the small daily move.

Three company markers since July

Iberdrola said on July 21, 2026, that it had agreed to acquire an indirect 80 percent stake in Caruna Oy and Caruna Espoo Oy. On October 9, 2026, electricity distributed in September reached 207,000 GWh, up 5.8 percent, according to Iberdrola. On October 14, 2026, Jefferies raised the target to EUR 20.70 from EUR 19.20, as Investing.com reported.

When do results arrive?

Iberdrola's next substantiated date is October 21, 2026, when the company will present results for the first nine months of 2026, according to Iberdrola. The event should provide the next test of network investment and earnings growth.

Iberdrola reported EUR 4.33 billion in net profit and EUR 8.05 billion in adjusted EBITDA for the first half of 2026. Total investment was EUR 7.00 billion, with 63 percent allocated to networks, while renewable generation reached 61,318 GWh. Those figures give the target increase an operating basis, but the upcoming nine-month report will show whether the network-heavy strategy is translating into further earnings.
