Redeia Corporación (BME:RED), What Is Behind The Fresh Attention?

Simply Wall St · 2d ago

Nexans being picked as Preferred Supplier by Red Eléctrica, a subsidiary of Redeia Corporación (BME:RED), for the Mallorca Menorca 3 power link brings fresh attention to Redeia’s project pipeline and regulated infrastructure role.

At a share price of €14.73, Redeia Corporación has seen its 1-day share price return edge up 0.75%, although the 30-day and year-to-date share price returns are down 3.09% and 3.54%. The 1-year total shareholder return has declined 8.66%, while longer term 3-year and 5-year total shareholder returns of 10.67% and 1.93% point to relatively modest momentum building over time.

Redeia Corporación’s shares have ticked up on the Nexans news after a weaker few months, which leaves you weighing an early entry versus waiting for a pullback. So what does the current valuation actually say?

Price-to-Earnings of 16.5x: Is it justified?

On the numbers, Redeia Corporación trades on a P/E of 16.5x, which sits slightly above the European electric utilities average of 15.5x but below the peer group at 28x. At a share price of €14.73, that leaves the stock looking neither outright cheap nor stretched when judging it against similar businesses.

The P/E ratio compares what you pay per share to the earnings that Redeia Corporación generates per share. For a regulated grid operator with steady but moderate forecast earnings growth of 4.8% per year, this kind of earnings multiple often reflects investors paying for income stability and cash generation rather than rapid expansion.

There is a split picture once you compare this valuation more broadly. Against the European electric utilities sector, Redeia Corporación looks expensive, which suggests the market is willing to pay a premium relative to that group. Against its selected peers on a P/E of 28x and an estimated fair P/E of 16.9x, the current 16.5x looks much closer to a level the market could drift toward, implying only a small adjustment would be needed to line up with that fair ratio.

Result: Price-to-Earnings of 16.5x (ABOUT RIGHT)

Still, Redeia Corporación’s story can be knocked off course if regulated returns are reset less favorably or if large grid projects face political or permitting delays.
