Iberdrola has registered a new all-time high on the stock market, advancing 0.84% in today's session, closing at 20.49 euros per share. With this price, the electricity company's market capitalization exceeds 138 billion euros, consolidating itself as the first electric 'utility' in Europe and positioning itself among the two largest in the world by market value.
This stock market 'rally' reflects the good moment the company is going through and the greater confidence of investors in its business model, supported by regulated assets that provide stability in an environment of high volatility and uncertainty in international energy markets, according to market sources. Analysts emphasize that the high visibility of results and the recurrence of income have been decisive for the continued support of shareholders.
International push for networks and renewables
The stock market advance is part of a period of strong international expansion, with particular emphasis on the United States, the United Kingdom, and continental Europe. Iberdrola continues to deploy an investment plan focused on strengthening and expanding electricity grids, key infrastructures for the electrification of the economy, and on the selective development of new renewable power, two axes that allow it to maintain a stable and predictable income flow.
Growing dividend and financial discipline
The company has reinforced its attractiveness on the stock exchange with an upward and sustainable dividend policy, highly appreciated by both institutional and retail investors. The company plans to distribute more than 4.5 billion euros in dividends to its shareholders from its 2025 results.
The remuneration includes an interim dividend of 0.253 gross euros per share, already paid last January, and a complementary dividend of 0.427 gross euros per share to be paid in July. In total, the company will disburse 0.68 euros per share, to which is added an involvement dividend of 0.005 euros per share after exceeding 70% attendance at the last general shareholders' meeting.
This remuneration strategy, coupled with strict financial discipline, has allowed Iberdrola to maintain a solid balance sheet while continuing to execute large investments in networks and clean energy. With these fundamentals, the company is strengthening its position as one of the leading global utilities and is at the forefront of the sector in creating shareholder value, according to the same sources.
The company maintains its commitment to seize investment opportunities linked to decarbonization and the electrification of demand, relying on its geographical diversification and a regulated network business that acts as the central axis of its strategy.
