🟡 HOLD — Hold; network expansion is positive, but the balance sheet and the rate environment warrant caution.

Elia Group is a Belgian high-voltage electricity transmission system operator, managing and developing energy infrastructure in Belgium and Germany, with a regulated business model generating stable revenue through network tariffs. Elia Group shows solid growth (revenue +18%) and a high operating margin (43.31%), but its high leverage (ND/EBITDA 5.42) and negative cash conversion (-147.14%) are drags that the market discounts with a P/E of 20.52.

OVERALL SCORE: 5.9/10

Context and risks

The rise in 10-year rates makes financing its intensive capex plan more expensive (Net Debt/EBITDA of 5.42). Regulatory risk in Belgium is moderate, but the tariff framework is key to its model.
