Business

Is the company getting stronger, not just bigger? · 4 findings
−29 of −30
  • Margin
    From a profit of 25.6 m EUR in 2024 to an expected group loss of about 170 m EUR in 2025 (EBIT about −167 m according to First Berlin) due to project delays and write-downs on projects. A positive result is not expected for 2026 either, and positive EBITDA is only expected in 2027.
    −12
  • Quality of growth
    Revenue is expected to fall approx. 43% from EUR 446m in 2024 to approx. 255m in 2025 because sales of wind and battery projects have been postponed. Earnings rest on a few large project sales and rising inventories (EUR 229m in projects in progress), not on recurring revenue.
    −7
  • Capital allocation
    FCF has been negative every year since 2021 (-19, -68, -7 and about -EUR 77m), but the company paid dividends (5.5m in 2024), expanded to 16 countries and financed growth with debt. The net debt ratio rose from 55% (2022) to 112% (2024) and about 800% (2025e).
    −7
  • Moat
    Project development of wind and solar is a competitive market without a strong moat. Lower auction prices and investors pulling out of the German market pressed sale prices and triggered the write-downs.

−10 of −35
  • Price vs debt and history
    The market cap is only approx. EUR 26m, but net debt was approx. 336m at the end of 2025 (First Berlin), so EV is approx. 360m. That corresponds to approx. 12x expected 2027 EBITDA (29m) vs 9-18x in 2020-2024 for a healthy company. Equity is almost gone, so the share is an option, not cheap.

Cracks

Cash flow, customers, debt, insiders, guidance and what sits behind the headline numbers. · 5 findings
−34 of −35
  • Restructuring and dilution
    The standstill agreement with banks and lenders has been extended to 30/11-2026, but there is still no binding restructuring financing or term sheet. BCG has been brought in to strengthen equity. A debt conversion or a large capital increase will leave the old shareholders with a small stake.
    −17
  • Financial reporting and repeated downward revisions
    The forecast for 2025 was a profit of 29–39m EUR (March 2025); it became an expected loss of approx. 95m (November 2025) and approx. 170m (January 2026). In May 2026 the loss of half the share capital was reported under § 92 AktG. The 2025 annual accounts have not yet been audited and published.
    −7
  • The bond is pricing in default
    The subordinated bond of EUR 80m (7.75%, 2024/2029) fell from a price of 103 in November 2025 to 17 in January 2026 and had a yield of about 116% in August 2026. The bondholders have waived their termination rights and the negative pledge clause until 31/12-2026.
    −5
  • Divestments under pressure
    The subsidiaries in Poland and Hungary (about 2 GW pipeline and 82 MW of solar parks in operation) are being sold to PPC, and Canadian wind rights and the Großenlüder wind farm have been sold to raise liquidity. Prices are not stated, and sales under a standstill agreement typically happen at a discount.
    −3
  • Liquidity in the stock
    On average about 3,500 shares trade per day (about DKK 49,000 on Nordnet), and the founding families and Mainova own 62%. It is hard to trade larger amounts without moving the price.
    −2

Plus

Only documented strengths. · 1 finding

  • Restructurable according to the expert opinion
    The draft restructuring opinion from May 2026 assesses that ABO Energy can fundamentally be restructured, and the bondholders voted in March 2026 by a large majority to support the restructuring. The pipeline is approx. 30 GW, of which over a third in Germany and France.

Caveats

What the score does not capture, or where the data is weak.
ABO Energy IS in restructuring: not a formal StaRUG case but an out-of-court restructuring with a standstill agreement with banks and Schuldschein lenders (extended to 30/11-2026), a restructuring opinion, a Chief Restructuring Officer (Britta Hübner), Rothschild and BCG as advisers and a vote among bondholders under SchVG. The restructuring calibration has therefore been used. The stockanalysis figures stop at 30/6-2025 and are outdated; the 2025 annual report has not been published (delayed to Q3 2026). Cash, debt and loss for 2025 are therefore First Berlin's estimates from January 2026 (loss about EUR 170m, net debt about 336m, cash about 5m, equity about 42m) and not audited figures. The 2026 half-year report (planned 1/9-2026) was not found. Market value is calculated at EUR 26.0m (9.22m shares × EUR 2.82, about DKK 194m) vs Nordnet's DKK 209m. Industry: developer of wind, solar and battery projects, classified as Utilities & power. Short interest has not been investigated. Several news sources (boerse-express, trading-treff) are automatically generated and used with caution.
