Uniper profit more than doubles as Germany moves to privatize
Uniper reported adjusted net income of $448 million for the first half of 2026, and it reaffirmed its 2026 core earnings outlook while raising the lower end of its full-year adjusted net income range.
Uniper posted more than double its adjusted net income for the first half of 2026 as its gas business performed well and did not drag earnings the way it has in prior years, OilPrice reports. The company said it earned $448 million, or 388 million euros, for January to June 2026, versus $156 million, or 135 million euros, for the same period in 2025.
The company also cited improved resilience compared with earlier periods, adding that it is “more resilient and robust in the face of outside influences than it was in the past.” Uniper further reaffirmed its current-year core earnings forecast it published in March 2026 and raised the lower end of its adjusted net income forecast range for full-year 2026.
Germany has launched a sales process for the energy firm after the government bailed it out during the 2022 crisis. OilPrice notes that Germany is seeking to sell its 99% stake, considering options including a sale or an initial public offering, with reported interest from Equinor, Brookfield Asset Management, EPH, and Abu Dhabi’s Taqa.
