Utilities - Regulated Gas Distribution & Integrated Energy Services
Strategic Profile
The company specializes in the distribution of natural gas for end customers, with net sales breakdown of 85% from distribution of gas and 15% from renewable energy, cogeneration, heat supply, water service, and general services. The company operates a diversified utility model with exposure to essential infrastructure across Northern Italy, providing stable regulated cash flows through its primary gas distribution business.
Cyborg Score Rationale
The company will be of major interest to investors in search of a high dividend stock. Earnings growth anticipated by analysts for coming years is particularly strong with particularly high EBITDA margins. However, the group shows a rather high level of debt in proportion to its EBITDA and earnings estimated by analysts have been revised downwards with respect to the next two years.
