Bulls Say, Bears Say

Bulls

Iberdrola has one of the best track records among European diversified utilities. It managed to shift from a Spanish domestic utility to one of the largest international utilities thanks to successful acquisitions.

Bears

Rising grid investments inflate electricity bills in the UK, fueling public anger. A victory for the Reform UK party could lead to unfavorable regulations and lower allowable investments under RII0-ED2 starting in 2028.
