AGL FY26 slides: strong cash flow, battery growth offset lower volatility

AGL Energy reported strong financial results for FY26, with underlying EBITDA increasing 2% year-over-year to $2.1 billion. Operating free cash flow surged by 60% to $850 million, despite milder-than-expected winter weather dampening market volatility. The company's shares rose 4.98% to $8.64 following the presentation, driven by improved cash generation and a higher dividend.

AGL's strategic positioning for the energy transition and strong performance across key metrics, such as consumer electricity and gas margins, contributed to the company's resilience in challenging market conditions.
