Investment Thesis, Valuation and Risks
Enagas (Neutral; Price Target: €15.40)
Investment Thesis
Enagas has built a reputation for consistently delivering a reliable earnings outlook and
shareholder-friendly policies through a generous dividend, as the capex requirements for
the group gradually declined. However, in the regulatory period 2021-26, we estimate a
persistent annual drop in regulated revenues as returns are gradually adjusted down and the
RAB declines, as minimal investments are needed in the Spanish gas sector near term.
Longer term, we see the opportunity to stabilize the RAB figure and subsequently make it
grow once the green hydrogen opportunity starts to materialize in the core regulated
business. In addition, in 2027 a new regulatory period should start and the allowed return
should be reset in line with prevailing interest rates. Enagas needs to manage the transition
from declining to growing RAB while it optimises its portfolio of international associates
to concentrate just on its European affiliates.
Valuation
We value Enagas on the basis of a SOTP where the Spanish core business is valued with a
DCF of the value potentially created in green hydrogen network investments plus a 1.1x
RAB multiple for the gas business, to incorporate the value of the non regulated assets.
Where we value the international affiliates in the Americas on the basis of premium
multiples, as we expect most of these assets to be sold throughout the next 3-5 years.
Risks to Rating and Price Target
We believe that upside risk to our valuation would come from a potential decision by Enagas
