Winston Score History

The full picture

BKW AG is a Swiss energy company that produces and delivers electricity to homes, businesses, and industrial customers. It generates power mainly from hydroelectric plants and nuclear energy, and it also builds and maintains energy infrastructure like power grids and pipelines. BKW is one of Switzerland's largest energy companies and owns a stake in the Mühleberg nuclear plant, which it decommissioned in 2019.

BKW makes money by selling electricity, operating power grids under regulated contracts, and providing engineering and technical services to energy clients across Europe. It operates primarily in Switzerland but has expanded its engineering services business into Germany, Italy, and other European markets. The engineering services division has become a key growth driver, reducing BKW's dependence on regulated utility income. The main risk is that electricity prices in Europe can be volatile, which directly affects the profitability of its energy production business.
