Summary
€4.9 billion to €5.5 billion is Engie’s new full-year net recurring income target, up €300 million from its previous forecast.
Middle East-linked energy market volatility and cost cuts drove the upgrade, helping the French utility offset weaker first-half earnings.
€3 billion in first-half net recurring income was down from €3.1 billion a year earlier, hurt by lower French gas demand and Belgian nuclear reactor shutdowns.
The higher outlook suggests trading gains and savings are outweighing operational pressure from softer demand and outages.
