【SMM Flash News】Iberdrola Reports Record €6.29 Billion Profit Driven by Grid Expansion

Published: Feb 25, 2026 20:48
Spanish energy giant Iberdrola SA achieved a 12% year-on-year increase in net profit for 2025, reaching €6.29 billion. While lower energy prices in Europe weighed on its production and retail divisions, the company’s strategic shift toward power networks paid off, with regulated asset growth driving a 20.5% EBITDA surge in that sector. Supported by €14.46 billion in total investments, Iberdrola successfully offset market volatility. Looking forward, the utility anticipates continued growth from global electrification, forecasting net profits to exceed €6.6 billion in 2026.

[SMM Shanghai Spot Copper] Looking ahead to tomorrow, from the perspective of supplier behavior, wait-and-see sentiment was strong in the early session, with notable divergence in offers; subsequently, some suppliers chose to offload inventory, mainly considering that downstream consumption expectations weakened after sustained copper price increases, upside room for spot premiums was limited, and willingness to liquidate holdings strengthened, driving the overall premiums center downward. Supply side, attention should be paid to the outflow of unmatched warrants after the contract rollover; if warrants are released in a concentrated manner, this will further suppress spot premiums. Inventory side, SMM recorded social inventory of 282,800 mt, down 17,000 mt from Monday, with the destocking pace showing a slowdown compared to the earlier period. Overall, under the combined effects of strengthened willingness to sell among suppliers and weakened consumption expectations, coupled with warrant outflows, spot prices against the 2605 contract are expected to see a slight decline in premiums tomorrow.
