PGE Strategy Analysis Summary

• Key Strategy Element:

  • Large Capex Plan: PGE announced a significant capital expenditure target of ZL235 billion (approx. €55 billion) until 2035 to grow the entire value chain.
  • No Asset Restructuring: Despite deep losses in conventional generation, PGE has no intention of restructurizing these loss-making coal assets.
  • Dividend: CEO mentioned that dividends could be reinstated depending on the progress of the conventional generation segment development.

• Financial Projections & Target:

  • Target Price: ZL10.80, slightly above the current price (ZL10.74).
  • Expected Share Price Return: 0.6% over the next 12 months.
  • Target Valuation: Based on a 5x EV/EBITDA multiple on 2026E EBITDA.
  • EBITDA Ambitions: ZL196bn growth Capex is aimed at generating ZL17.6bn EBITDA increase.

• Conventional Generation Issue:

  • Losses: Expected EBITDA losses of around ZL-5bn in conventional generation by 2030, a figure significantly higher than market anticipations.
  • Implications: These losses translate into a negative DCF (Discounted Cash Flow) value (approx. double-digit negative ZLbn) for this segment, adding to the financial pressure.

• Valuation & DCF:

  • Citi Research values PGE at ZL10.80.
  • They acknowledge that DCF/DDM models are less reliable due to PGE's lack of positive cash flows and minimal dividends, making traditional valuation models less effective drivers for investor confidence.

• Risks:

  • Regulatory: PGE faces this risk, though with potentially lower exposure compared to competitors due to a smaller distribution portfolio.
  • Competition: General market risk.
  • Political: Noted government influence impacts business strategies significantly.

Overall Citigroup's View:
Their investment stance on PGE is Neutral. They believe the Strategy is disappointing because it focuses on large Capex but fails to address the core problem of significant losses in the coal segment. They suspect management expects a 'curve out' of coal-related issues without having specific plans. Consequently, they forecast that the stock could experience downward pressure ("could sell off") following a recent strong performance.
