Endesa: the 42.87 billion market capitalization underprices 1.98 billion in free cash flow
The valuation discount embedded in the Iberian utility overlooks robust operating cash generation and core profitability metrics. Institutional capital allocation fails to price in balance-sheet efficiency while yield curves dictate the cost of grid refinancing.
