Deep freeze could last all month. ‘TelegraphR17; . Maybe into March.

SSE is a defensive stock. Hard to believe that at this time. Results were good, company seems to be doing the right things, share buy backs, increased dividend and yet the share price just keeps on going down .

Looks like heading to sub £12 . Better put my diving gear on .

So the post-Christmas sales are on! I do like a bargain.

Yield already 7.37‰ but looks like we are in for a very volatile day pretty much Dow driven by the end of the day I suspect. Could even see the yield reach 8% if things go badly.

[whatsup32] 05/2/2018 16:38

US Dow down over 1,000 points as I write this. Time or SSE to show its defensive quality’s

Six year low ; is there a crisis somewhere that I have missed? Is a General Election with a Corbyn Govt imminent? Guess I don't understand the market. We have a creaking electricity infrastructure and a strong need to develop it , not sure the taxpayer will fund that.

Agreed Alphorn

Utilities are defensive, as customers are by and large not discretionary.

[alphorn] 05/2/2018 10:14

Money has to be invested somewhere if anyone needs a yield.

[bountyhunter] 05/2/2018 10:07

but SSE back into positive territory now despite the drop in the wider market

[veryniceperson] 05/2/2018 08:12

Still dropping. FT down 70 +NG down to.

[whatsup32] 04/2/2018 11:33

Coldest week of the winter is forecast next week. I’m not sure if it was the coldest year it would help utilities.

[bountyhunter] 03/2/2018 13:45

probably the whole market will but utilities perhaps not by as much given how far they have already dropped

[bountyhunter] 03/2/2018 10:35

the big drop on the Dow yesterday should be a good test on Monday morning of how defensive utility stocks are in the current climate

Strange how the same article can be viewed positive or negative depending on ones frame of mine and presentation.
I read the article on Hargreaves site and found It overall positive and then I read the same article in Citywire and found it to be presented in a negative way.
I guess been a holder you look for the positive.
My opinion only.

Hargreaves waits to see outcome on SSE divi -

Energy provider SSE (SSE) confirmed earnings per share will come in above consensus but there are still questions about the dividend after it splits off its UK retail business, says Hargreaves Lansdown.

A third quarter trading update confirmed the earnings per share will come in around 116-120p and while it is lower than last year, it is more than expected. The shares rose 1.7% to £13.12 yesterday.

Analyst George Salmon said there had been a ‘solid delivery so far this year’ that helped to upgrade profit forecasts.

‘However, the main question is what will SSE’s dividend look like after it splits off the cash generative UK retail business,’ he said. ‘Shareholders will have an interest in the new Npower-SSE retail entity, but it remains to be seen if their dividend return from both groups will exceed what they’re currently getting.’

Salmon added that in recent years the dividend hadn’t always been covered ‘so there’s a chance the group could use the deal as an opportunity to rebase the payment down’.

Hargreaves Lansdown View on SSE . Post trading update

Positive outlook on demerging of retail business.

Retail customers lost in the past 12 months 400,000
Last quarter a moderate 40,000.

My reading is that customer churn has dropped to a trickle .

Given up the gains of yesterday down today over 1%. Hope someone can make sense of this stock market
