A business model that adds value
With 125 years of history, Iberdrola has established itself as a global leader in the energy sector and one of the two largest electricity companies in the world by market capitalisation. Our commitment to the electrification of the economy acts as a lever to build a clean, reliable, and intelligent energy model. Leading this process is technologically possible, economically viable, and socially necessary.
In this model, electrification is the way to create value for people and the environment, generate employment, boost economies, and address the main challenges of today and tomorrow. For this reason, we are committed to leading the electrification process through our daily activities by promoting smart grids, renewable energy and storage installations, and the best solutions for our customers. Our strategy is structured around three key ideas:
-
A unique combination of businesses and locations
Iberdrola’s leadership is based on the businesses of smart grids, renewable electricity generation, and efficient storage, with a diversified portfolio of projects and markets, and a presence in countries with high credit ratings. We contribute 10 percentage points more than our European Union competitors. Through our subsidiaries and associated companies, we operate in dozens of countries, with a prominent presence in Spain, the United Kingdom, the United States, and Brazil. Our diversified portfolio is supported by stable regulatory environments: over 90% of investment is directed towards countries with an ‘A’ rating.
-
Financial strength and a solid dividend policy
Our integrated business model is reflected in a solid financial structure that ensures stable, predictable, profitable, and secure growth. We operate in markets with an A+ rating and consolidate our financial position aligned with a credit rating of BBB+ / Baa1, made possible by a highly diversified portfolio of assets, markets, and financing sources.
Furthermore, we maintain a stable and growing dividend policy, aligned with the company’s results. The Strategic Plan 2025-2028 aims to distribute nearly €20 billion to our shareholders, with a payout ratio between 65% and 75% of earnings per share, setting a minimum dividend of €0.64 for this period under the Iberdrola Flexible Remuneration programme.
-
Sustainability integrated into the business and shared value
At Iberdrola, we carry out our activities with the aim of creating sustainable value for all our stakeholders and contributing to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs): this is what we call our social dividend. This approach is centred around an electrified energy model that creates value for people and the environment, in addition to contributing to addressing the main challenges of today and tomorrow. To achieve this goal, the Iberdrola Group directs its activities around three values: Sustainable energy, to create value; Integrating strength, to multiply talent; and Driving momentum, to evolve without pause.

High returns for our shareholders
The strength of our business model and our excellent results have a positive impact on our shareholders’ returns. For years at Iberdrola, we have been committed to strengthening dialogue with our investors and ensuring their maximum involvement in the company’s most important decisions. The data confirm that this commitment has had positive results:
-
Iberdrola is Europe's largest utility company by market cap and one of the two largest in the world. The market capitalization in 2026 exceeds €138 billion.
-
Iberdrola’s share price rose from €3.50 in 2001 to exceed €20 by April 2026, and paid out more than €7 per share in dividends.
-
In the last 10 years, Iberdrola has significantly outperformed in total shareholder return (‘TSR’) (including reinvestment of dividends) compared to:
- The average total return of the top three US utilities by market capitalisation;
- The total return of the European industry index (Euro STOXX Utilities);
- The total return of the Spanish market index (IBEX 35).
Together we multiply
As an Iberdrola shareholder, you are part of Europe’s leading electricity company and the second largest in the world. A company that has demonstrated a strong track record of growth, multiplying its value over time.
If you invested €1,000 of your savings 25 years ago, today that investment would be worth €17,726. In other words, you would have achieved a return of €16,726, multiplying your initial investment almost 18-fold.
Today, we want to celebrate with you everything we have been able to multiply together.
We have multiplied returns,
but also energy, innovation and positive impact on society.
That is why your participation in our upcoming General Shareholders’ Meeting is so important.
To look back with pride, but above all to continue creating value for the future and share with you a growth story built together.
Because individually we add.
But together we multiply.

Iberdrola, a solid choice compared to any sector
The electrification of all industries makes the electric utilities sector a highly attractive investment, especially in the case of the Iberdrola Group, which has significantly outperformed the 10-year total shareholder return of other comparable companies in the sector. This leadership is also reinforced when compared to other global sectors, where the company offers strong potential thanks to a growing demand for energy year after year.
