Energiekonzern: Uniper steigert Ergebnis kräftig
Der Konzern will mehr Energie für Rechenzentren liefern und verspricht sich davon höhere Einnahmen. Vor allem im Gasgeschäft lief es für Uniper zuletzt besser.
The state-owned energy conglomerate Uniper has raised its profit outlook for 2026, slightly exceeding expectations for the first half of the year. Adjusted Ebitda rose to €711 million from €379 million in the previous year's period, the company announced on Tuesday. For the full year, Uniper now targets earnings between €1.1 and €1.3 billion, up from an earlier forecast of €1.0 to €1.3 billion.
The company plans to make further investment decisions in the gas business this year. While the segments for green energy generation and fossil power plants showed a decline compared to the first half of the previous year, Uniper's gas trading business saw a significant profit increase. In 2022, Uniper found itself in a precarious position as the largest German gas importer, as Russia stopped supplying gas due to the Ukraine conflict.
The German government bailed out the company with billions in aid, effectively becoming the sole owner. The federal government has since initiated a plan for the company's partial divestment, but ownership is expected to remain separate for now. The possibility of a stock market listing is also under discussion.
