PARIS--French power utility Engie SA (ENGI.FR) Thursday confirmed its targets for 2016 after its net profit rose, boosted by gains made on hedging contracts related to electricity and gas purchases and a gain made on the partial sale of a unit in Chile.

The company, which was formerly known as GDF Suez, said its net profit in the first half of the year rose 11% to 1.2 billion euros ($1.33 billion), while revenue over the period fell 13% to EUR33.5 billion. Analysts expected a net profit of EUR1.4 billion out of revenue of about EUR38.7 billion in the first half.

The company attributed the revenue decline to lower oil and gas prices and retail electricity prices. A mild winter in France and Western Europe also hurt energy demand in the first three months of the year.

Like many of its peers in Europe, the group has suffered from sluggish demand for energy in Western Europe, where growth has been sluggish. At the same time, subsidies for renewable energy have made traditional power plants less profitable. As a result, the company had to close down power plants and write down assets worth billions of dollars over the past years.

The company's management has said it plans to reduce the company's exposure to energy prices by focusing on services and regulated businesses in which long-term contracts ensure stable profitability.

Engie will sell assets worth EUR15 billion and invest EUR22 billion between 2016 and 2018 to bring its share of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization from contracted and regulated activities to 85% from 50% at the end of 2015.

[412069] 05/9/2016 10:09

Getting tighter by the day here.

[divmad] 02/9/2016 22:02

I don't rate Andrew Cochran as a pump and dumper. But maybe apfindley does.

Face to face, there's no comparison between these two. One is for real, with years of hard earned credibility. The other....well... he's got IRG on his cv.

[goodbloke1] 02/9/2016 15:51

Apindly Do you come on these boards as a wind up merchant ?many are still up 50 to 100% on this share so you are a fool asking such a question.

[apfindley] 02/9/2016 15:09

Looks like selling to me.They pumped itNow they're dumping it Who got spiked??

[412069] 02/9/2016 09:33

And here come the buys.

[412069] 02/9/2016 09:11

Right on que shakes on followed by a flurry of buys no doubt.

[412069] 02/9/2016 09:03

No sellers around at 12.5p so they will either shake or lift the bid at some point today.

[412069] 02/9/2016 08:34

Mexican stand off time here now see who blinks first before the news MM's or the PI's

[rodrod1] 02/9/2016 08:24

yes goodbloke1 - it does look like word is spreading.

[goodbloke1] 02/9/2016 08:21

Volume has been too high recently with accompanying spike suggesting some people are in the know in my opinion

[rodrod1] 02/9/2016 08:18

I thought we might have seen news this morning given the rising volumes seen.

412069 - large buyer in the background maybe?

[412069] 02/9/2016 07:59

Could tick up on the open today.

[sweepie2] 01/9/2016 23:15

Well best of luck but took profit today around 65% in about 10 days

[divmad] 01/9/2016 17:09

apf is still nursing his wounds in irg. Best to leave him well alone.

[412069] 01/9/2016 15:21

Goodbloke, I've tried to tell him this before he's not for listening.
Engie have a reason for taking HNL on board and we are about to find out why.

[goodbloke1] 01/9/2016 15:15

Are you crazy Apindly and no disrespect intended .Have you looked at the market cap which is a few million compared to billions of a company in the recent RNS that clearly has shown faith in this tiny cap!When a deal is announced we are talking a possible multibagger! Clearly you think you missed the boat on this one.Why don't you stick to stagnant GWMO mate?

[apfindley] 01/9/2016 14:46

LolNo revenuesNo cashNo target assetFunding coming in a couple monthsKeep pumping it, but have your fingers on the trigger if you don't want to be spiked.The marker cap is way too high for what the company has.

[rodrod1] 01/9/2016 14:40

there are few buyers around thats for sure!

[412069] 01/9/2016 14:37

Just hold people IF you want 20p plus when news hits.
