lisbon’s stock market surged to nearly a month’s high on September 24, 2025, propelled by a 6% increase in EDP Renováveis (EDPR) shares. The benchmark PSI 20 index climbed to 6,049.99 points, marking its strongest performance since August 26, 2025.
The gains reflect renewed investor confidence in Portugal’s energy sector and broader market stability. This upward trend impacts investors holding Portuguese equities, particularly those in renewable energy, and signals potential for continued growth as the country navigates evolving energy market dynamics. Market analysts anticipate continued volatility linked to global energy prices and geopolitical factors, but see Lisbon as well-positioned to benefit from the transition to sustainable energy sources.
