Pennon rallies on Barclays upgrade

Mon, 01st Mar 2021 11:26

(Sharecast News) - Pennon rallied on Monday after Barclays upgraded the stock to 'overweight' from 'equalweight' following a de-rating.
The bank, which kept its price target on the shares at 1,060p, noted that UK regulated utilities have had weak share price performance through a combination of market focus away from defensives into cyclicals and recovery stocks; fears of reflation and rising yields; and tough regulatory reviews.

Barclays said there is "significant value" in UK regulated utilities.

"1) We believe all utilities will appeal Ofgem's RIIO-2 review by 3 March, which could see returns rise. 2) There is limited impact from bond yields, and a positive inflation impact on UK utilities," it said.

It noted that Pennon has been de-rated due to optically high multiples, and its ejection from the FTSE 100.

"It now trades at a 6% premium to regulatory asset base and, if the 570p cash on its balance sheet is removed, it trades at an attractive circa 10x price-to-earnings, 7% dividend yield."

At 1125 GMT, Pennon shares were up 4.3% at 911.40p.

IN BRIEF: CMA asks for comments on Pennon purchase of SES Water

Pennon Group PLC - Exeter-based water utility - The UK Competition & Markets Authority invites comments on Pennon's agreement to buy Sutton & East Surrey Water PLC, which was announced last month. The CMA had immediately served an initial enforcement order on Pennon in relation to the acquisition. Pennon agreed in January to buy Sumisho Osaka Gas Water UK Ltd and related businesses from Sumitomo Corp and Osaka Gas for GBP89 million, with the deal representing an enterprise value including debt of GBP380 million. Sumisho Osaka owns Sutton & East Surrey Water, or SES Water.
