Sse Share Discussion Threads

Time to top slice some I bought 2 weeks ago. It seemed an illogical drop so 10% and a dividend will do nicely , happy to hold the rest. 1635 limit just to be a bit greedy..

UBS were offloading then?

I think in this climate utility stocks are looked on quite favourable because of the yield and the volatility in other choices like miners and oil producers in the FTSE 100 high-yield club. Funds may already be positioning to make use of carry trades between lower and lower bond yields and reasonably stable blue-chip equities - because of the forthcoming QE. If SSE cut-prices it sometimes can be seen as positive because, if the climate is right, it is seen as confidence in competitiveness whilst at the same time delivering on the progressive dividend policy rather than desperate pricing cutting as we see in the grocery space.

Yes, I agree, but the market moves in mysterious ways its wonders to unfold. The doom and gloom was overdone and the share price dive was an over reaction to the political situation and Labour threats, with every teenage scribbler jumping on the bandwagon.
The yield here is just too juicy to ignore and in a protracted low interest rate environment to find a share yielding almost 6% that's almost as safe as a gilt will prove too attractive for income seekers to ignore.
I dare say however that there will be lots of ups and downs along the way, especially as we near the general election.

Lord gnome your comments make Good sense but last week the price seemed to be weak and also lots of negative comments. Indeed the investors chronicle penned an article on the power companies on Friday saying that Sse was the most vulnerable as they had locked into high fixed contracts, not a great call on their part.

[lord gnome] 28/1/2015 16:58

All in the price atlantic57. Decent yield will always win out in the long term. Divi looks safe and will continue to increase along with RPI. Thought: if RPI turns negative do we get a divi cut? Somehow I doubt it. Onwards and upwards.

i am baffled sse announced a drop in prices to customers on Monday and since then the shares have gone up.

[skinny] 28/1/2015 16:35

Those nasty brokers - in particular - Societe Generale & JP Morgan Cazenove.

Obviously yesterday's news!

[wad collector] 28/1/2015 16:30

I've forgotten why these dropped earlier this month. Looks like the market has too..

[zcaprd7] 28/1/2015 14:08

Same. A while ago I think?

[bountyhunter] 28/1/2015 13:46

" done the same

[sicker] 28/1/2015 08:41

Ditto, just nuisance, no value :-(

Yes I filtered him last week - his postings are bulk and repetitious. Not sure if he is sponsored by ADVFN.

yes and shrugged off the 26.6p xd of a few days ago :-)

[philo124] 26/1/2015 09:00

SP going the right way.

Im with SSE ...cost of gas welcome but the reduction starts on April 30 when my usage will drop substancially .
I'll still be paying full whack for the next cold weeks.

Why couldn't they drop it immediately ?

Petrol now falls quite quickly

[codhead1] 26/1/2015 07:55

With most punters being on fixed contracts all the suppliers are announcing cuts but keeping the fact in the small print that these cuts will not be for them. A great publicity ploy and so will not hit the bottom line.
A great steady set of results.
