RWE’s stock soars 46% after bold Australia exit and Spain expansion

RWE shares have surged by 46.6% this year, now trading just 7.3% below their 52-week peak. The energy giant’s strategic exit from Australia has drawn praise from analysts, who see the move as a smart repositioning of capital into more profitable markets like Spain.

RWE’s decision to leave Australia has been widely labelled a masterstroke by Wall Street. The withdrawal aligns with the company’s shift toward higher-margin regions, including Spain, where its Muel onshore wind farm began operations on schedule. This strategic pivot has reinforced investor trust in the firm’s long-term planning.

RWE’s share price has climbed sharply in 2025, supported by strong operational shifts and analyst endorsements. The company’s focus on lucrative markets, combined with insider buying and favourable ratings, positions it well for further growth. A break above €44.20 could set the stage for a push toward the €51 target in the coming months.
