Hidroelectrica cuts its 2026 profit target to RON 3.004 billion, while Hidroelectrica stock had a RON 76.1 billion market value on October 7, 2026. The revised budget reflects drought-related pressure on hydropower production and higher purchases from the electricity market.

Profit target falls to RON 3.004 billion

According to ZF on October 11, 2026, Hidroelectrica's revised budget lowered the 2026 net profit target by 16.50 percent to RON 3.004 billion. The same plan reduced total revenue by 3.80 percent to RON 11.483 billion and cut expected own production and sales from 13.70 TWh to 11.20 TWh, a decline of 18.10 percent.

Bursa.ro reported on October 9, 2026, that planned electricity purchases would rise 26.00 percent to 3.22 TWh, while total expenses were budgeted at RON 7.94 billion, up 4.00 percent from the initial plan. The budget is scheduled for shareholder approval at the ordinary general meeting on October 23, 2026.

Strong first half meets weaker outlook

The annual reset contrasts with the latest reported interim figures. Profit.ro reported that first-half 2026 net profit rose 62.00 percent to RON 2.571 billion, while revenue increased 40.00 percent to more than RON 6.00 billion. In the second quarter, net profit declined 3.30 percent from RON 1.307 billion to RON 1.264 billion, showing how the strong half-year comparison became less even across the period.

Hidroelectrica said on its investor-relations website that it signed the works contract for the Stejaru hydropower plant modernization project on October 10, 2026. The project is described as one of the largest investments in the company's portfolio, adding a long-term capital program to the near-term drought discussion.
