Oh yeah this is more like it come £8 :-)
Why the Drop & Rise?? Just had my new water tariff set for next 12 months. Daily standing charge up just 50p for year. Cubic metre of water up 3%. Seems fair to both customers and water companies.

Finally it's showing some promise £7.31 ;-)
why the drop ???
UU must be a strong buy if you believe JC cannot win power and his shadow cabinet are also similarly unelectable. If Labour get in with trots in charge the water companies are an easy first step in the march toward state control.
UU is looking like it's going to break out northwards over next few weeks it's started to show strenth possible £8 as we get close to ex divi date a few more months and we are there june isn't far away now and it's the bigger part of the divideos too :-)
wish i had bought these today,i fear i wint get a decent price now.
Money is flowing back into 'defensives'/utilities. The 40% drop from 1050p was obscene and no UU are not 'heavily in debt' - they have the best equity ratio and lowest P/E of all 3 water utilities actually if you study the books.
dropped, why, threat of regulation, price caps, interest rate rises (heavily indebted), bad publicity, just wondering why it is rising today. Broker upgrade maybe
Great increase today, but why has the share price dropped by 30% over the last 10 months?
Moderately higher profits and revenues. Nothing to justify drop from 1050p to 650p
Corbyn faces human rights battle over nationalisations, top law firm warns Jeremy Corbyn and John McDonnell will face expensive and unwinnable legal battles with investors if they go ahead with plans to nationalise swathes of British industry, one of the world's top law firms has warned. Amid rising City fear of a hard Left Labour government, a new analysis by the Magic Circle firm Clifford Chance has found that attempts to take control of top companies at bargain prices would face strong resistance in the courts as a violation of human rights. https://uk.finance.yahoo.com/news/corbyn-faces-human-rights-battle-145202354.html
It's all good for us we should start seeing UU tick up now over next few months 7.50s short term and back above £9 by may beginning of June :-)
Yeah he'll not get in its a pity treason has been abolished
Corbyn being attacked from all sides over his response to the Russian poisoning scandal. Deep rifts opened again within his own party. Should boost UK utilities.
Back to ten quid will do me just dam fine ;-)
As usual though short sellers suppressed the rise - blatant manipulation again. *********************************************************************************************************************************** Analysts at JP Morgan upgraded their recommendations for Pennon and Severn Trent, arguing that concerns about regulatory risk, rising government bond yields and possible nationalisation by a Labour government had pushed the shares to "unusually low" levels. That trifecta of risks was on top of the "more traditional" decarbonisation, affordability and security of supply balancing act, they said. "We take this opportunity to highlight stocks in our coverage universe that are oversold, trading at a material discount to 'worst case' nationalisation scenario projections," they added. Looking out to 2021/22, Severn Trent (target price: 2,250p), United Utilities (target price: 1,000p) and Pennon (target price: 830p) were changing hands at discounts of 1%, 5% and 11% versus their regulated capital values, respectively. In the analysts' opinion, that made little sense in the context of Labour's nationalisation threat and upgraded their recommendation for Pennon and Severn Trent from 'neutral' to 'overweight' and said they were at 'overweight' on United Utilities, having had no coverage on it beforehand. At a forward price-to-earnings multiple of 12.5 and with its offering of a dividend yield of 6.6%, their preferred stock in the UK water space was Pennon https://uk.webfg.com/news/broker-recommendations-/broker-tipspennon-severn-trent-acacia-mining-severn-trent--3182360.html
Uu should start to move north now typically it has a good run from March to ex divi in june let's see ;-) I wot be too suprised if this isn't £8 or higher all this re nationalised is a load of twoddle
Moving up now :-) finally ffs!
UU not reported to have any major problems with supply this morning unlike Thames who have major trouble in London. Hope GOVE was out with his wench. Sorry wrench!
Perhaps he and Corbyn need to look at EPS and Dividend payouts - water companies are not paying ALL their profits in dividends as they wrongly suggest!
From yesterday's attack on ALL water companies by the master of backstabbing opportunism (bad luck Boris) who received a cabinet seat for his endeavours it seems, and will shortly be receiving a pay rise himself, may we assume his immediate disposal of the OFWAT regulator whom he obviously feels inept? The distributed profits he referred to were after allowance for forward investment. In our case about �800 million I recall. He will need all the help he can get from the surviving water companies (many with large foreign shareholders) to fill the gap I feel is about to appear from the dreadful state of Thames Water (another Carillion?).
If you are with HL they only pay out dividends on 10th of the month. Your nominated account to which they are paid (even though it's BACS) will require 3 working days to credit it to your account. Guess where they put it in the meantime and earn money for doing so which you don't get? Overnight rate or elsewhere.
I received the 13.24p per UU share on 1-Feb promptly. You should check your scrip or with the broker. This hasn't made me happier as the SP will continue to fall, I bet.
