RWE, a German energy firm, reports a significant drop in earnings, yet maintains optimistic forecasts for 2025.

German energy giant RWE reported a 25% drop in adjusted EBITDA for the first half of 2025, totaling €2.1 billion, below analysts' expectations. The decline was due to weak wind conditions and a subdued trading business. Despite this, RWE maintained its full-year forecast, expecting adjusted EBITDA of €4.55 billion to €5.15 billion and adjusted net income of €1.3 billion to €1.8 billion. The company plans to invest €7 billion in 2025 and aims to increase the adjusted net income per share to €4 by 2030.
