ITALGAS S.P.A. O.N.

Italgas shares rose 3.1% to €10.55 after Citi upgraded its recommendation from "Neutral" to "Buy" and raised the 12‑month price target from €10.00 to €11.60. Citi cited accelerated tenders for gas distribution networks in 2026 and improved synergies from the acquisition of 2i Rete Gas, which makes Italgas the largest gas network operator in Europe. In addition, a capital markets day on June 23 could provide further positive momentum for higher long‑term financial targets, boosting investor sentiment. » Mere på de.investing.com

Snam Rete has completed the refinancing of its €500 million convertible bond (maturity 2028), which is secured by Italgas shares, and repurchased 98.9% of the issue. The position was replaced by a five-year green bond maturing in 2031. The new bond carries a fixed coupon of 1.75% (previously 3.25%) with semiannual interest payments; the first payment is on 14 July 2026. » Mere på de.investing.com

Italgas reported a 31.1% increase in adjusted net profit for the first half of 2025 to €316.6m following the early consolidation of 2i Rete Gas. Adjusted total revenues rose 29.2% to €1,126.7m and EBITDA increased 27.8% to €857.5m; operating cash flows covered €495.1m of investments.

Risks remain in the form of higher debt (net financial debt approx. €10.97bn), regulatory uncertainty and increased Scope‑1/2 emissions. » Mere på de.investing.com
