European Utilities Rallied in Q3 on Falling Interest Rates; We See Further Upside Potential

While wholesale power prices stabilized, government bonds’ yields fell on weak economic indicators and lower inflation in the US and Europe. Second-quarter results were boosted by very favorable hydro conditions that led to some guidance upgrades. This goldilocks scenario bolstered a rally in European utilities, enabling them to massively outperform the market and recover much of their earlier underperformance.

Bulls Say, Bears Say

Bulls

The hike of the ceiling price for 2024 UK offshore wind auctions and the extension of capital allowances are positive for the largest offshore wind market in the world, outside of China, where Orsted is the leader. The capital allowances will increase the value creation of Hornsea 3.

Bears

The business plan presented in February 2024 hinges on material divestment including the farm-down of Hornsea 3. Failing to deliver them could force Orsted to resort to a rights issue.
