Enel's H1 profit rose by 1%, with EBITDA surpassing forecasts. The company plans a €1 billion share buyback, maintaining its 2025 guidance.
MILAN (Reuters) -Italian utility Enel reported a 1% year-on-year rise in its ordinary core profit in the first half, when stripping out asset sales, and said it would launch a share buyback worth up to 1 billion euros later this year.
Ordinary earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) came in at 11.5 billion euros, above an analyst consensus of 11.4 billion euros.
