Fortum has reported a good set of first half 2021 figures, slightly better than expectations and benefiting, in particular, from higher achieved power prices and volumes. Moreover, as a quarter of FY21 production remained unhedged (but only 10% for Uniper), we are confident on the H2 outlook.
Closing of the Exergi sale expected before 2022.
In our view, these elements are already priced in. Neutral recommendation confirmed.
