RWE’s bold Australian exit sends share prices soaring and analysts cheering
RWE’s decision to exit Australia has boosted investor confidence and sent its share price climbing. The move comes as the energy sector faces ongoing challenges, yet analysts now view the withdrawal as a smart strategic play. With shares trading at €43.33 and rising, the company is attracting renewed attention from major financial firms.
The company’s departure from Australia has freed up capital for more profitable markets. This shift has already shown results, including the successful on-schedule launch of the Muel onshore wind farm in Spain. Meanwhile, AGL Energy’s cancellation of its 2.5-GW Gippsland Skies project in Australia further highlights the sector’s instability.
Analysts have responded positively to RWE’s strategy. JPMorgan kept its 'Overweight' rating, setting a €51.00 target—a 17.7% increase. Bernstein Research also maintained an 'Outperform' rating, raising its price target from €48.50 to €50.00 by December 2025.
Confidence in RWE’s future is growing among insiders too. Supervisory board member Hauke Stars recently bought €30,310 worth of shares, reinforcing belief in the company’s recovery.
RWE’s Australian exit has strengthened its financial position and market standing. With analysts backing the company and shares gaining momentum, the focus now shifts to its reinvestment in higher-growth regions. The success of projects like the Muel wind farm suggests the strategy is already paying off.
