Kiwi, as I understand it the cost to the consumer at an individual level is nothing BUT the whole program is costing hundereds of millions and we are collectively paying. IMV they are useless because there is no variation in tariff to justify their use , save the limited national gris 'trial'. Furthermore not all smart meters work with all suppliers. What the country needed but did not get was a market with energy prices varying throughout the day to encorage smart use of energy when cheap and lower usage when expensive , What we got was an expensive whit elephant and totally missed the opportunities a smart grid could offer. I shall not be having one and contributing to the debacle until the market is reformed.
The average cost of a smart meter is added into your energy bill the same way as a standard meter is, averaging at around £30-70 per household, per month.
However, the price can differ depending on the size of the house and how much gas and electricity gets used, as well as the specific energy company, type of smart meter and the accessibility of your home.
The government has encouraged all UK energy suppliers to roll out smart meters into households by 2024, hence the low installation costs.
Has risen, but this has fallen. Not a good sign. I notice it has been trending with the ftse recently.
Looks like we may start to move north again. Looking at wholesale gas prices they are currently dropping a fair amount.
My electric company keeps sending letters to change to a smart meter stating the old meter is out of date. does any body know how much cost is added to energy bills to cover cost of smart meters ? I’m sure if these company’s offered reduction in bills for these costs more people would change to a smart meter, at least I would.
Treasury shares can be used for staff purposes, sold back into the market, cancelled, or a combination of the three.
Looks like Pinky & Perky attempting to tie up 10% of all shares in treasury - Then what?
A tough one… CNA have done well for me over the last 18 months but to see profits daily dwindle away is torture, sold 75% of my holding to hopefully get back in at a lower price or invest elsewhere. Hard to know where this will bottom out?
Share price appears to be taking a breather - will it push on past my peak price sale from September in the coming months?
I normally hold my shares fro 12 months and sell. I am due to sell at the end of December, however it is still close to the top in my list of momentum stocks so there is a good chance I will hold for another 12 months
Dubs - "keep or sell"?..always a choice. I'm keeping & hoping for SP >= £1.80 before Christmas.
Lot depends on Dumb & Dumber's, O'shakey & Scott, decision on Shares in treasury.
Friday-last - more than 5000 Auto-Ex-Trades as MM-pigs took early profits, suppressing the SP.
Today more than 3000 Auto-Exs by MM-pigs buying back cheaper shares, as is possible over next few days.
Hopefully, then the SP will rise & more after next Board declaration on 11th Nov...they can't, or are unlikely to stay dumb much longer...they'll need to tells about their greatly un-desrved salaries and fantastic undeserved bonuses.
Hence I'm holding....for awhile....Posters, please fill the Option box.
Gambling on the 2 board-clowns to be forced into action to help the SP rise.
We should be getting a trading update soon, usually get one in Nov and full year around Feb time. I'm personally waiting seeing if they increase the div or maybe do more buy backs.. you're right though it's getting close to party being over, energy is getting cheaper and if it continues to fall competitiveness will start to appear. Looking at uSwitch today and it appears there's now suppliers offering deals which you couldn't find a few months ago but they don't look all that attractive compared to what I'm on already.
The party's over with this one.
Tough decision to keep or sell? Had a good run.
Any thoughts
Hardly "falling like a brick". It looks like a bit of a move from big stable stocks to more riasky stocks, FTSE100 down but FTSE250 up over 100%
Gasman, seems like funny games: Citi raise their forecast, many succoured to buy in on the rise, MMS drop the price, timid holders sell - a lovely shake out, and for those knowledgeable enough a nice gain. But what do I know!!!
What the hells going on ? Falling like a brick
Same analysts? Superdry are currently trading at 35p.
Dec 2022
"The Liberum analysts have a target price of 500p on Superdry shares which were trading at 122.8p on Wednesday afternoon."
Unless he or his family filled their boots after his downgrade.
Healthy correction. The £1.50 broker must feel like a wally now.
Good to see the sp making a recovery after that ridiculous downgrade a month ago.
It is now 12 months in a row that the share price has increased, fantastic share
Sharecast News) - Citi reiterated its 'buy' rating on Centrica on Tuesday and lifted the price target to 180p from 155p, saying it was attractive relative to the sector.
"With one of the best balance sheets in the sector, delivering above sector average 8% yield via returns to shareholders (both dividends and buybacks), Centrica shares continue to look attractive in a sector relative context," the bank said.
"We update our earnings and valuation to reflect the secured growth in flexible generation assets, which we estimate to deliver an aggregated portfolio IRRs of circa 10% with the support of capacity market payments."
Citi said that with retail churn continuing to be low and Ofgem consulting to increase bad debt allowance, it continues to see a good balance of risk and reward from the retail division.
The bank said that value creation from new secured only investments, lower risk retail earnings and falling liabilities led it to up the price target.
At 1040 GMT, the shares were up 1.7% at 158.59p.
£2 - ? not before New Year...Depends what Dumb & Dumber do with those shares in chancellery?
