These shares are really confused, don't know where they are.

Most weather models seem to be forecasting cold and snow from next week to mid-December. Further out, thoughts also seem to lean to the cold side. Now, these models are not always right,but they are generating some interesting headlines.

Thank you, a thankless task.

interim dividend dates & amount added to header

Monthly chart



The share buyback support ends soon and the market knows.... £500 million wasted to allow favoured institutional clients to exit over last 12 months. Useless corrupt management which now wants to float off the retail side. I hope the government regulates price in the generation/distribution market to catch these corrupt clowns

Got a few more this afternoon, dividend cover of 1.74 should be safe!

We shall see, but I am not convinced a decent payout prospect is still here for me, and neither are a number of city pundits. In the long run the markets favour the collected sentiment of the herd, not the brave lone wolves who may or may not be correct. So straight numbers show that we have SSE down -7% in 48 hours, -16% over the last year, -25% in the last two. Yes, the dividend cover is fine and the balance sheet looks ok, but competition, regulation and commodity prices all weigh on this sector generally and this share particularly. Cap gains must be kept in focus; divis are but a pacifier to pay for one's time. I have held these for almost 5 years now, but these always seem to be a case of jam tomorrow. So if divi now goes sub premium, and if the prospect of cap gains or ROC aren't here, neither will be I.

The big boyz are blind to the potential

Retail is a simple business so looking to SSE management to extract upwards of £400m and potentially £500m plus profits through economies of scale on sales of £11bn.

The rump of the business with more freedom from political pressure should be rerated with growth coming from CAPEX into additional generation capacity.

I am not sure about the 50% premium though, but the sustainment of good forward yields and capital growth are on the cards though potentially the split may provide the excuse to reduce the overall dividends currently being paid to shareholders.

[uncle_sam] 10/11/2017 14:01

Hmm. With a full 7% drop from Wednesday's peak, the Big Boyz don't seem to think so.

Dipped proverbial toe in at 1357p

The SSE/Npower deal reminds me of the impact when STW split off the BIFFA business. The result over time was very good for shareholders. I am in for long term and think the premium from consolidation and cost savings could give a 50% premium by time deal completes. Enjoy. SR

[wad collector] 10/11/2017 11:40

I was surprised to see the drop back after results day enthusiasm. Hold and forget for me.

[ruethewhirl] 10/11/2017 10:34

Grabbed some this AM.

Great value here IMHO.

[wad collector] 08/11/2017 08:47

As long as you believe the capital expenditure explanation , that looks a solid statement , even if the cover is sailing close to the wind.

[trader2] 08/11/2017 07:47

See that SSE don't put their business customers into the combined company - but npower do. SSE look to have a sensible majority of the combined company.

[bill hunt] 08/11/2017 07:32

Confirmed takeover of npower and Demerger. Not to be effective till late next year early 2019. Shares in new co split between SSE shareholders and board of Innogy. They are to keep for at least six months. Innogy to have 2 directors on board unless they sell or SSE buy them out. Not sure of effect on share price.

[bountyhunter] 07/11/2017 18:57

yes, I was thinking the same thing, but at least the downtrend may have been reversed

[wad collector] 07/11/2017 17:48

Pretty trivial share price movement in the context of the 5 yr chart. Not enough to get me reaching for the sell button.

[bountyhunter] 07/11/2017 15:25

Could be good for shareholders in unlocking value imho...
"...SSE would demerge its shares to its shareholders"

SSE PLC (SSE.LN) said on Tuesday that it was in talks with Innogy SE (IGY.XE) in regards to combining their Great Britain-based energy supply businesses.

The new independent company would combine SSE's household energy and services unit with Innogy's household and business energy unit.

SSE said that discussions were continuing and well-advanced, but added that no final decisions, or binding agreements, had been made. In the event that the deal goes ahead, the new combined business would be listed and SSE would demerge its shares to its shareholders.

SSE said it was mindful of the requirements of customers and the concerns of employees, and said it will disclose the outcome of the discussions as soon as they are concluded.

RWE npower/Innogy UK is a dog of a business. What does the market see in this for SSE?
