Enel assets worth nearly $4 billion at risk over Brazil concession, auditors say

Enel faces a risk of losing its power concession in Sao Paulo, with auditors flagging 3.34 billion euros in financial and intangible assets plus 595 million euros in goodwill at risk. The disclosure points to a material potential impairment tied to its Brazilian operations. The news is negative for Enel, but it is a contingent risk rather than a realized loss.
