What the Analysts think about Drax Group
Analyst ratings (Buy, Hold, Sell) for Drax Group stock.
Bulls say / Bears say
Drax expects its 2025 adjusted core profit to reach the top end of analyst estimates, supported by higher pellet output and efficient biomass generation at its Yorkshire plant (Reuters).
Despite an 11% drop in H1 adjusted core profit to £460 million, Drax maintained its full-year EBITDA forecast of £899 million–£910 million and increased its share buyback programme by £450 million, underscoring strong cash flow and a continued focus on shareholder returns (Reuters).
The UK government has extended biomass subsidies for Drax’s four generating units from 2027 through 2031, providing long-term revenue visibility for its biomass business (Reuters).
First-half 2025 adjusted core profit fell 11% to £460 million, highlighting Drax's exposure to volatile UK wholesale power prices and pressure on margins (Reuters).
The UK government will halve Drax’s biomass subsidies for 2027-2031 and apply stricter sustainability sourcing requirements, reducing annual support by around £170 million and increasing regulatory risk (Reuters).
Drax has paused its proposed Cruachan II pumped storage expansion in Scotland due to rising project costs and uncertain returns under current subsidy policies, delaying its diversification into energy storage (Bloomberg).
