The brief

Snam builds and operates the pipelines, storage depots, and regasification terminals that move natural gas across Italy and neighboring countries [Yahoo Finance]. The company is regulated, earning returns on its infrastructure assets, and is expanding into carbon capture, biogas, and energy efficiency services [Yahoo Finance].

Snam S.p.A. operates Europe's natural gas infrastructure, running approximately 38,000 kilometers of pipeline across Italy and several other countries [Yahoo Finance]. The company also manages liquified natural gas (LNG) regasification plants, storage facilities, and recently received EU backing for a carbon capture and storage project in Ravenna [ChemAnalyst]. With a market cap of EUR 20.6 billion and trailing-twelve-month revenue of EUR 4.0 billion through 30 June 2026, Snam is a regulated utility in Italy's energy infrastructure sector [Yahoo Finance].

Snam carries elevated debt and negative free cash flow, offset by stable regulated utility margins.

Figures come from company filings and market data. The Sentinellis health score and the wording attached to it are our interpretation of those figures, not numbers the company reported.

Not investment advice and not a recommendation to buy or sell. Sentinellis holds no positions in the companies it covers, takes no payment from issuers, and has no broker referral arrangements.
