RWE stock (ISIN DE0007037129) was trading at EUR 58.10 at Lang & Schwarz on October 7, 2026 at 9:14 a.m. CEST. On September 18, 2026, RWE reported an auction win for 119 megawatts of onshore wind capacity in North Rhine-Westphalia and Lower Saxony, according to RWE.

119 MW auction adds capacity

The award expands RWE's German onshore wind pipeline and gives the group another development milestone in its renewable generation business. The project capacity is small beside RWE's broader portfolio, but the auction result provides a concrete operating datapoint while the stock remains 6.29 percent below its EUR 62.00 52-week high as of October 7, 2026.

RWE's portfolio combines onshore and offshore wind, solar, flexible generation, energy trading and storage. That mix matters because the company can offset weaker performance in one activity with earnings from another, although the result remains exposed to power prices, weather conditions and capital spending.

Earnings guidance moved higher

RWE reported adjusted EBITDA of EUR 3.0 billion in the first half of 2026, an increase of more than EUR 900 million from the same period of 2025, according to Yahoo Finance. Adjusted earnings per share reached EUR 1.77, up more than 60 percent year over year.

For fiscal 2026, management raised adjusted EBITDA guidance to EUR 5.57 billion to EUR 6.35 billion and set midpoint adjusted earnings per share guidance at EUR 2.95. The same transcript reports adjusted net income guidance of EUR 1.95 billion to EUR 2.45 billion, while the dividend target remains EUR 1.32 per share, according to Yahoo Finance. The stronger guidance creates a higher earnings base for investors to test against the next report.

Stock sits below yearly high

RWE's adjusted operating cash flow was minus EUR 759 million at the end of the first half of 2026, while net debt stood at EUR 15.0 billion, according to Yahoo Finance. The cash flow figure reflects seasonal working-capital effects, but it also shows why investment intensity and financing discipline remain important alongside the higher profit outlook.
