Endesa, S.A. (ELE.MC): Valuation Snapshot
Endesa, S.A. (ELE.MC) is a rate-regulated utility, and a discounted-cash-flow model is the wrong lens for one, so TickerWorth does not publish a DCF fair value for it. What its filings and market data do show is below. Snapshot as of Oct 21, 2026.

Why is there no fair value for ELE.MC?
This is a rate-regulated utility. Its returns are set by a regulator on an approved rate base rather than won in a market, so a free-cash-flow DCF is the wrong lens — heavy ongoing capex is the business model, not a cash-flow problem. We show the regulated-asset lenses — book value, earnings and dividend — instead.

What we can say
Endesa, S.A. (ELE.MC) is a rate-regulated utility, and a free-cash-flow discounted-cash-flow (DCF) model is structurally the wrong lens for one. Its returns are not won in a market — a regulator sets them on an approved rate base — and the heavy, permanent capital spending that depresses its free cash flow is the business model rather than a problem with it.
Read the full reasoning
We have the data to print a DCF number for ELE.MC; we don't publish one because the model's assumptions don't describe how this company actually earns. What follows is the lenses that do — descriptive, not a valuation, and not investment advice.
On the numbers we do have, ELE.MC trades at a recent price of €42.26, a market capitalisation of about €42,884,841,472, sitting 90% of the way up its 52-week range (€28.85–€43.80), on the MCE.
The standard alternative to a DCF is relative valuation — comparing ELE.MC's trading multiples against a sector benchmark. Here that gives P/E of 16.6× (cheaper than the peer median of 21.7×); Fwd P/E of 17.7× (in line with the peer median of 18.0×); P/B of 5.3× (richer than the peer median of 2.2×); P/S of 2.0× (cheaper than the peer median of 3.1×); EV/EBITDA of 9.5× (cheaper than the peer median of 13.7×); Dividend yield of 3.7% (cheaper than the peer median of 3.4%). A cheaper multiple than peers can flag a discount or a market that expects weaker growth; it is a comparison, not a recommendation.
The asset, or book-value, lens is the classic tool for asset-heavy businesses and financials. ELE.MC shows a price-to-book (P/B) of 5.31 and book value of €7.96 per share. Price-to-book compares the market price to the accounting net-asset value per share; below 1.0 can mean a discount to net assets or that the market is pricing in trouble — descriptive either way, never a buy signal on its own.
Finally, a price-based read — explicitly not a valuation. ELE.MC is in an up-trend (price above both its 50- and 200-day averages), trading -3.5% from its 52-week high. Over the past year the stock is +44.9%. Moving-average trend and 52-week position describe where the stock has traded; they say nothing about what it is worth.
To be exact about what this page is not: we are not saying the numbers for ELE.MC are unavailable. They are, and they are above. We are saying a discounted-cash-flow model is the wrong instrument for this kind of business, and publishing one anyway — because the inputs happen to exist — would be a precise answer to the wrong question. Refusing is the more useful answer, and it is the same rule we apply to every name in this category.
