Why this report?
Saudi Energy, formerly Saudi Electricity Company, is increasingly defined by
its investment cycle. Its new brand identity highlights a broader national role
in the energy sector, but the main change is financial. Capex is accelerating,
the SAR472bn 2025-30 plan looks increasingly credible, and RAB growth is
stronger than expected. This supports regulated earnings, but keeps FCF
deeply negative and pushes net debt higher. The balancing account remains
central to bridging the gap between actual and allowed regulated operating
revenue. We have updated our model, maintain our SOP-based TP at SAR16.5
and reiterate our Hold rating. In today's Middle East geopolitical context, we
think the company's regulated and State-backed profile remains a relative
strength for the shares.
