What to look at in Endesa if you are starting out

Before looking at the Endesa share price, it helps to understand six things. The Fintols analysis answers them in this order, with the numbers from its accounts and every difficult word explained.

1. How Endesa makes money

A company in electricity like Endesa usually sells electricity, gas or fuel and, in regulated grids, charges a tariff set by the regulator for carrying energy to every home. The report shows which part of its sales comes from each business and each region of the world.

2. Whether it is really growing

What matters is whether it is investing in new plants or grids that will bring steady income for many years. Fintols compares its sales and profit with a year ago and tells you in one sentence whether things are getting better or worse.

3. What protects it from competitors

In electricity, the defence is usually the plants, grids and permits that take years and a lot of money to build, and that nobody can copy quickly. A well-protected company can keep what it earns for years.

4. Whether it is cheap or expensive

Fintols estimates what ELE could be worth if things go badly, normally or very well, and compares it with what it costs today. It is not a prediction: it is a way to see whether the price already assumes a very good future.

5. What it does with its profit

It can reinvest to grow, buy back its own shares or pay it out as a dividend. That mix says a lot about its priorities.

6. What could go wrong

The typical risks in electricity are energy prices, changes to the rules and tariffs set by governments and the debt it needs in order to build. The report explains each one and what would happen if it occurred.
