Edison Ready to Return to the Stock Market with 30% of Its Capital

(Alliance News) - Edison is preparing for a return to the stock market. The controlling shareholder, EDF, is said to have chosen the IPO route to enhance the value of the company led by Nicola Monti, with preparations expected to begin in mid-February and the selection of banks underway.

As reported by Il Sole 24 Ore on Tuesday, the chosen venue would be Milan, although the group clarifies that the evaluation process is still ongoing.

The plan would involve listing up to 30% of the capital, ruling out alternatives such as a sale to a fund or the transfer of control.

This would mark a return to Piazza Affari after the delisting that followed EDF's takeover bid in 2012, with the group now deeply transformed and refocused on the energy transition.

Edison presents a positive net financial position of EUR618 million, revenues of EUR13.3 billion, up 22% year-on-year, expected EBITDA between EUR1.3 billion and EUR1.4 billion, and net profit of EUR251 million. The valuation could be around EUR10 billion, with a potential windfall for EDF of between EUR2 billion and EUR3 billion, without loss of control.
