Enagás (BME:ENG) Backs Hydrogen Software, Is The Stock Fully Valued?
Hydrogen Software Bet Puts Enagás in the Energy Transition Spotlight
Enagás (BME:ENG) has taken a stake in Galician startup digHy through its Enagás Emprende arm, backing software that helps design and operate renewable hydrogen plants and automates sustainability certification tasks.
The recent move into hydrogen software comes as Enagás trades at €16.75, with a strong year to date share price return of 25.33% and a 1 year total shareholder return of 27.70%, which some investors may view as a sign of building momentum rather than a short lived bounce.

After a strong run and a fresh push into hydrogen software, the temptation is to wait for Enagás to cool off. Is the current valuation already fair, or is patience the better entry point?
Most Popular Narrative: 2% Undervalued
On Simply Wall St's central view, Enagás carries a fair value of €17.02 against the latest close at €16.75. This points to a small valuation gap that rests heavily on how its regulated gas backbone and emerging hydrogen projects play out under the current rulebook.
The robust policy momentum and increased EU financial commitments to energy security and decarbonization are now reflected in long term LNG regasification bookings in Spain, with unloading slots largely reserved until 2041. This supports visibility for Enagás on future regulated revenue and earnings from its gas network.
Rapid progress in green hydrogen regulation and Spain's leadership in hydrogen production is now matched by concrete investment decisions, with multiple hundred megawatt electrolysis projects reaching final investment decision and billions of euros in public funding awarded. This underpins the case for Enagás to add new hydrogen transport revenue streams and support future margins.
See why 39 investors see Enagás as 2% undervalued.
Result: Fair Value of €17.02 (UNDERVALUED)
Still, the Enagás story could shift quickly if the final remuneration rules cut regulated returns more than expected, or if hydrogen projects face prolonged delays and weaker demand.
