United Utilities Share Discussion Threads

Aye slightly disappointing.

I had a profit slicing sell order activated on Tuesday at 1044 and decided to sell the rest today.
Chartwise finished yesterday at a new closing ATH but did not exceed the previous intrady ATH from last July at 1064. Back from overbought and maybe it's a "Sell in May" moment. I don't think the Tory price capping policy will apply here as UU only do water I think.

No downside target identified but I suppose I might think coming back in around 973.

Results in line but not exactly blockbuster! Keep the bid rumour running.

The billion dollar upside is about to begin wouldn't want to be out of this in the morning with blockbuster results buy buy buy £11.50 imminent possible bid from the Far East in the background gla

To the taxman?

Don't forget savings/pensions have to go somewhere.

[wad collector] 23/5/2017 08:30

Hit that limit but doubt I caught the top . The utility spike seems a bit surprising pre-election uncertainty. Guess the sentiment is that little will change.

[wad collector] 22/5/2017 13:30

Almost as if no-one believes the manifestos?
I will trade some out here if share price hits 1050 , doubt results will be out of line.

[alphorn] 19/5/2017 10:07

Both UU and SSE seem to have shrugged off the election manifestos.

Deutsche Bank downgrades to Hold from Buy and increases target price from 1000 to 1050.

Results next week 25 may

LOL! (I hope)

Run for the hills ; Labour want to re-nationalise UU.
Or possibly it is the other way round .
Either way it is fortunate they are lead by a visionary. Who cannot see his future! A 2% fall in share price here probably approximates the chances of Labour getting into govern.

Healthy looking chart ; time to let some more go or ride the winner? I predict more share price volatility in the pre-election period if it becomes more of a political football.

Sold today 1011p. Waiting for the next big fall now.

[wad collector] 16/3/2017 08:31

£10 breached again ; this seems where the share price ought to be , but with the FTSE100 at a high , wonder if it will sustain? Let some more go at 1002.

[wad collector] 24/2/2017 20:36

Ah ..so many choices ... so many different ways...
Clearly I sold some UU too early as it has carried on up , but happy I still have a fair holding.

[wad collector] 22/2/2017 10:27

Both my limits hit , happy to hold the rest for now . Not xd for 4 months so might get back in before then.

[wad collector] 21/2/2017 16:45

Good luck on those , seems a sound strategy , but I do worry there will be a "correction" soon , perhaps Trump related?

It is amazing that the market is where it is.

I am in UU. and other companies for income mainly and hope not to be worried by any correction.

Post Brexit uncertainties and four years of Trump Twittering away daily?

Glad to be in mainly defensive income stocks.

Did some post Brexit deals buying TW. and LGEN on weakness

Built a position in AGR hoping for capital gain but mostly in income.

Time to let a few go if it hits my 958 & 968 limits ; I worry the market is due for another short term plunge.

[wad collector] 31/1/2017 12:43

Finally breaking out of recent trading range , has slipped behind the wider market recently.

[alphorn] 06/1/2017 12:52

Seems to have settled at these lower levels - better yields elsewhere but are they safer?

[wad collector] 15/12/2016 08:31

XD 12.95P today.

[shalder] 05/12/2016 17:03

I would guess that water shares are regarded as bond proxies and peeps are running scared in the bond markets right now. Looks a bit overdone to me.

[wad collector] 05/12/2016 15:25

Added at 867 and 865 . Xd in 10 days . Is water going out of fashion?
