Iberdrola SA operates as a regulated utility/energy infrastructure company with extensive scale and regulated cash flows across multiple jurisdictions, supported by strong asset base and stable profitability. Its 2022 annual report shows solid equity and cash flow generation, sizable EBITDA, and substantial noncontrolling interests but a robust standalone credit profile. The company has previously issued hybrid bonds (notably in 2021 and 2022), indicating market access for hybrid instruments. S&P/Moodys indicators provided: S&P Debt/EBITDA around 3.9x, FFO/debt ~0.1965, Moody’s adjusted leverage stable, all consistent with a large, investment-grade, regulated utility with strong refinancing capability.

Overall, this aligns with a Strongly Suitable assessment. Strongly Suitable
