What were Engie's first-half 2026 EBIT (excluding nuclear) and how did they compare to analyst expectations?

Engie reported first-half 2026 EBIT excluding nuclear of €5.3 billion ($6.10 billion), a 3.3% rise year-on-year, surpassing analysts’ average expectation of €5.1 billion as reported by LSEG.

What were the main drivers behind Engie’s upgraded annual guidance for 2026?

Engie raised its annual EBIT (excluding nuclear) guidance to €9.2–€10.2 billion — up from €8.7–€9.7 billion — primarily due to the acquisition of UK Power Networks and its internal efficiency programme, which together contributed €304 million; energy infrastructure activities rose 13% to €2.2 billion, driven by near-doubled income from electricity networks following the UK Power Networks purchase finalized in May.
