Winston Score History

The full picture

PNE AG is a German company that develops wind and solar energy farms. It finds suitable land, gets the necessary permits, builds the projects, and then either sells them to investors or keeps them running to generate electricity. Its customers include large energy companies, institutional investors, and utilities across Europe.

The company makes money in two main ways: by selling completed energy projects to outside buyers, and by earning steady income from the wind and solar farms it owns and operates itself. PNE works mainly in Germany but also develops projects in other European countries and has expanded into markets like the United States and South Africa. Its pipeline of projects under development gives it a degree of visibility into future revenue, but the business depends heavily on permitting timelines and government energy policies, which can be slow or unpredictable. The key growth driver is Europe's push to expand renewable energy capacity, though rising construction costs and competition for suitable land remain ongoing risks.

Cash watch

PNE AG has less than a year of cash at its current burn rate. Growth investors should watch for potential share dilution from future fundraising — that directly reduces your ownership.

The Winston Score above measures business quality today. Growth stocks often score lower because they invest in the future rather than maximising current profits. These metrics show what matters most for evaluating that future.

+0.3% over 4y

The share count has stayed roughly flat over this period — little dilution or buyback activity.

Diluted shares outstanding: 76.3M (2021) → 76.6M (2025)
