Audax Renovables (BME:ADX) Stock Grapples With Shrinking Profits Despite Revenue Growth

Simply Wall St · 1d ago

Audax Renovables heads into this earnings season with a stock that has drifted lower for months, yet still carries a rich P/E of 41.4x and trades well above a discounted cash flow estimate of €0.18. That gap between price and intrinsic value thinking was already stretching nerves. The fresh Q2 release tightens the screws further. Net income from continuing operations over the last twelve months sits at €14.731m on €1.870b of revenue, leaving a slim 0.6% net margin and weak interest coverage. The focus at the moment is not on growth; it is on a profit squeeze colliding with an already demanding valuation.

Audax Renovables and the cautious bullish angle

For anyone leaning optimistic on Audax Renovables, the story hangs on resilience rather than breakout performance. Revenue reached €405.455m in Q2 2026 compared with €374.425m a year earlier, so the top line is still moving in the right direction. The energy transition theme is intact and the business continues to convert a very slim profit, with €14.731m of net income over €1.870b of sales. That keeps the green utility narrative alive, even if the income statement shows little room for error.

Profit squeeze keeps the bearish worries alive

The harsher read focuses on earnings pressure. Net income excluding extra items in Q2 2026 fell sharply to €1.764m from €6.842m, with basic EPS sliding from €0.015183 to €0.003964. Trailing net margin now sits at 0.6% compared with 2.2%, which points to much weaker profitability on a bigger revenue base. With interest coverage already described as weak and the stock down over the last 90 days, concerns around thin cushions in a volatile power and retail market remain firmly in play.
