Severn Trent Share Discussion Threads

0.56% is a significant increase for a company of this size.

But that percentage will grow.

It will go over 2%.

There are plenty of ways to skin a cat..........just as it's very possible to land a huge and wild fish on a very light line. It's called 'playing out'. Let the fish run when it wants and do not argue with it. Draw it in closer during the exhaustion that will follow......and repeat.

Shorts will gain full control in due course imho.

I expect SVT to fire back during this process but it will, at best, be seen as a distress flare.

Further falls are nailed on imho.

A PRIME FTSE 100 SHORTING OPPORTUNITY IMO.

SVT will duly hit the number 1 spot for most increased short.


Symbol Name Previous (%) Current (%) Increase in Short Position (%)
AMTE Amte Power Plc 0 1.89 +1.89
RENX Renalytix Plc 0.80 1.46 +0.66
SVT Severn Trent Plc 0 0.56 +0.56

MORE TO FOLLOW.

"a most cynical business model".....and one - it would seem - almost the entire country has had ENOUGH of.

The company has itself to blame.

Full bear outlook to follow.....but be clear all, it is over.

Never again will SVT and their ilk have it so easy.

Climb aboard bulls when you think it looks safe.

The traps will be laid imo.

You will be the sellers of tomorrow.

Further falls will come.

SVT is weak and for very good reason. Full bear perspective to follow.

Of course it does......ha ha ha.....back to school.

[wreckingball] 03/7/2023 08:07

37 points off in the first 5 minutes.

It points the way.

[wreckingball] 03/7/2023 08:06

2500 to be breached. And it will go lower.....

[wreckingball] 03/7/2023 08:05

THIS IS WEAK.

HYENAS TO ARRIVE SOON IMO.

[wreckingball] 30/6/2023 16:13

SUB 2500 is nailed on imo.

[wreckingball] 30/6/2023 16:11

SEVERN TRENT gets flushed down the shi*ter next week imho and well deserved. For me, a disgraceful record of environmental damage to our national heritage and I note very little contrition from the grinning one in charge.....no doubt writing too many 'confidential' emails....leaked today in the news. What is it about this woman and 'leaks'?

I have a feeling the cavalry will be called in over the weekend imo to take a good and pernicious look at this.

Sentiment is through the floor and the divi news out.

Teams are out like hawks looking for Severn Trents next release of the raw stuff.

Will be headline news from now on, not swept under the carpet as in previous years.

Swords are being sharpened (metaphor) to chop this nasty company's share price down.

I will speculate that you are about to see the consequences of one river too many being shafted under the 'leadership' of grinning-garfield.

RIFE

Not a false claim. Google SEVERN TRENT POLLUTION to see both their legal and illegal discharges into Britains waterways.

Unfortunately for them, they wrecked one a tad too close to my home. Been through the courts. ST Guilty and fined......but the damage is done. Environmentally AND to a loved one's psyche. A lasting impact on her beloved river being trashed.

This is toast in the making.

aimo, nai.

Filthy Severn Trent......the country holds its nose imo

In the meantime, be careful on those shiny cobbles hooved one. A broken leg will not omit you from being part of the main event.

[pander45] 30/6/2023 13:58

What a grade 1 tool you are. An example of why humans should not have even evolved.

[wreckingball] 30/6/2023 13:57

I hope you've bought in Panders45.

Enjoy your bull trap and your jog through the streets of Pamploma.

This is put to the sword next week.

Secret email from Severn Trent water boss to rivals: stick together to fend off nationalisation

Liv Garfield, the boss of FTSE 100 water giant Severn Trent, is trying to bring a taskforce of utility bosses together with the Labour party in a bid to head off the threat of nationalisation.

In an email sent to other utility CEOs which she describes as “sensitive” and “highly confidential”, the £4 million a year Garfield asks them to join an “off-the-record roundtable” with Will Hutton, the Observer journalist best known for books critical of capitalism including The State We’re In.

Her move comes as water companies face the threat of being re-nationalised, decades after they were privatised as one of Margaret Thatcher’s free market reforms.

She writes: “Whilst it is clear Labour will not include nationalisation in its next manifesto, they are also not keen on entering into the election race championing the status quo. The leadership thinks there is room for improvement and, politically, there is significant pressure to ‘do something’ about utilities.”

She adds: “One idea we believe might be attractive to the Labour leadership is re-purposing utilities and utility networks into a new breed of declared social purpose companies – companies that remain privately owned, who absolutely can (and should) make a profit, but ones that also have a special duty to take a long-term view.”

Garfield, one of a handful of female bosses of FTSE 100 companies, warns her colleagues: “The Labour leadership is aware we are soft testing various ideas but have asked us to keep it highly confidential so please don’t forward this email.”

Ministers are already discussing plans to seize control of Thames Water in the wake of intense criticism over fears of a financial collapse that saw the abrupt exit this week of CEO Sarah Bentley. Utility bosses are concerned that others could be next.

Garfield says that utility sectors such as water, energy and telecoms, should have “clear social purpose” while remaining highly profitable.

Bills for all utilities have soared lately. Garfield takes a swipe at former PM Liz Truss in the email: “The UK is entering a period of heavy investment in infrastructure (£650bn over the next 10 years, according to some reports) and the last thing we want to do is push-up (Truss-style) the cost of investment.”

On Labour, she says her new taskforce should, “Seek to ensure that any manifesto commitment emphasises the importance of independent economic regulation, something to which investors attach huge weight”.

Not all of the CEOs she contacted are supportive of her plans. One said bluntly, “this is not our problem, it is hers”.

Severn Trent has been approached for comment.

Severn Trent is one of the biggest water companies in the UK, supplying nearly five million homes. It has 7000 staff and a stock market value of £6.5 billion.
