Uniper Profits Surge as Germany Prepares to Sell Energy Giant

Uniper on Tuesday reported more than doubled adjusted net income for the first half of 2026 from a year earlier as Germany has launched a sales process to privatize the energy giant it bailed out during the 2022 crisis.

Uniper booked an adjusted net income of $448 million (388 million euros) for the first half of 2026, more than double from $156 million (135 million euros) for January-June 2025, as the gas business performed well and didn’t weigh on earnings with a negative effect like in the past few years.
