Back in September, Cenkos was saying that if SMS achieved its base case assumption by 2020, their DCF valuation would rise to 2,381p.

[mfhmfh] 24/11/2017 17:13

also note the trading update ('gathered pace' at the end sounds positive):

Since the Company's interim results to 30 June 2017, the Company's continued investment in its gas and electricity metering and data assets portfolio has seen the total number of meter and data assets under management increase by approximately 8 per cent. to 1.81 million as at 30 September 2017 (30 June 2017: 1.68 million) and total annualised recurring income[1] has also increased by approximately 8 per cent to £52.3m as at 30 September 2017 (30 June 2016: £48.4 million). SMS has significantly increased the number of domestic smart meters in its portfolio by approximately 56 per cent to 290,253 as at 30 September 2017 (30 June 2017: 185,666), as the domestic smart meter roll-out has gathered pace.
