1. Investment Thesis — Base Case
The Base Case sees Iberdrola operating as a Paradigm Shifter in the energy infrastructure space. Over the next 5 years, the stock will grind significantly higher as the market wakes up to the reality that electrons and grid capacity are the ultimate bottlenecks for the AI revolution.

Current crowd narrative
Boomers look at Iberdrola and see a safe, boring dividend utility. The ESG crowd loves them for the green vibes, but completely misses the brutal physics of the energy market.
