As an Italian energy and utilities holding company, Hera combines public-service companies into a single multi-utility entity. The company's revenue is diversified across gas sales (42.2%), electricity sales (35.9%), waste collection and treatment (12.8%), and water cycle management (8.4%).
Cyborg Score Rationale
Hera offers a strong dividend yield of 4.37% in 2024 with a payout ratio of 43.72%, demonstrating stable cash generation. The company has an EBITDA of 1.41B EUR with a healthy 9.90% margin. However, the company's geographic concentration in Italy and exposure to regulated utility margins present structural headwinds.
