Bulls Say, Bears Say

Bulls Say

Conservative Leverage

Meridian’s low, stable debt-to-equity provides a substantial capital buffer for a utility with ongoing generation investment needs. Conservative leverage should support funding flexibility and resilience through market volatility, even as development spending increases.

Strong Cash-flow Recovery

The FY26 rebound demonstrates meaningful cash-generation capacity after the prior-year weakness, with operating cash flow and EBITDAF recovering strongly. Management’s FY27 EBITDAF guidance of $1.04–$1.12B supports the view that improved operating performance can persist.

Renewable Generation And Storage Platform

Meridian’s hydro, wind and battery assets create a renewable generation platform with increasing flexibility and firming capability. Greater storage and capacity can improve reliability, support wholesale market participation, and strengthen its role in New Zealand’s energy transition.

Bears Say

Revenue And Profitability Volatility

Top-line contraction and uneven profitability weaken confidence in the durability of earnings, despite the FY26 recovery. The return to only modest net margin after a prior-year loss suggests Meridian remains exposed to changing market conditions and inconsistent earnings quality.

Rising Costs And Development Spending

Higher operating, maintenance and capital costs could absorb part of the benefit from stronger generation and cash flow. Sustained spending is strategically necessary, but it raises execution demands and may limit near-term conversion of operating gains into shareholder returns.

Leverage Expected To Rise

The planned renewable build program will temporarily increase leverage and reduce financial headroom from current levels. Although management expects a later return to a 2–3x range, the interim peak makes funding discipline and project execution more important over the next several years.
