Nudging towards an 11 month high , though it really just mirrors the wider market.

A little article here for us.


It expects revenues in the year to end March 2021 to be lower than expected though lower interest payments will offset a drop in operating profits.

I write options for yield. Net of premium covered down to 818p.

[jonojubb] 24/3/2021 10:53

Did you have a target price you are aiming for? Just curious on everyone's thoughts of play here.

[alphorn] 24/3/2021 10:05

Opened a new bullish position after some months away from this share.

[jonojubb] 11/3/2021 11:19

Atleast back to mid Feb peaks you would think

SOCGEN INITIATES UNITED UTILITIES WITH 'BUY' - TARGET 1,080 PENCE

22% upside if so. These Brokers are generally wrong but if UU. got to £10 it would be plain sailing for me.

[juan2many] 09/3/2021 08:16

Ok thanks. It's just how I was feeling at the time.

[geardown107] 08/3/2021 18:44

I don't get the wild swing. Fundamentally, water is a guaranteed to make money. It's not far off it's rock bottom, with good dividends.

[mach100] 08/3/2021 15:32

I wouldn't worry Juan as water will always find its own level.

[juan2many] 08/3/2021 15:25

Some wild swings on this. Thought it was going up...then it tanked, now, I just don't know.

[jonojubb] 03/3/2021 16:50

Sold at 949 a few weeks ago, and looking to get back a little lower!

[grahamite2] 03/3/2021 16:27

In at 862 for income.

UU dividends questionable if Regulator gets tough

[pander45] 05/2/2021 14:19

Looks like they are being dropped in the morning for a pm accumulation across the pond......interesting.

[alphorn] 05/2/2021 13:08

Looking at UU again with an idea to write a put option at perhaps around the 840 level. Not very positive on the economic outlook but this may be safer than some. Any views from the holders here?

[nerja] 05/2/2021 11:59

It’s happening with my NG, SSE as well for some reason beyond me utilities seem to be out of favour

[mrphil] 05/2/2021 11:57

Only thing of note seems to be the sale of Tallinn Water

[nerja] 05/2/2021 11:56

This is some fall going on, anybody know why?

[wad collector] 27/1/2021 09:41

I have held these for about 20yrs, I went through a phase of trading them but gave up on that when some of my other trades went pear shaped. Now I just hold them and count the yield.

[mach100] 25/1/2021 22:27

Been a decent divi payer over the years which underpins the share price to some extent. My buys have been at 722p and 800p and 900p but I have paid 1062p too which didn't seem bad at the time but when I look back since it was rather eye-watering.

[wad collector] 25/1/2021 18:27

Nudging over a 6 month high today, bit like the reservoirs. Still about 10% off the pre-covid highs but I think most of us will be happy with the share price performance, though the sector will always be vulnerable to political factors. Ultimately it is a pretty low tech sector with a strange supply and demand curves; if supply falls because the weather is drier , then demand rises and vice versa. But there is not much scope for increasing the prices during a period of increased demand. Imagine the politics of that!

[wad collector] 17/12/2020 08:34

Xd 14.4p today

I see yesterday that some of the board were handed out £3M worth of shares , subject to unspecified targets over the next 3 yrs.
I get the concept , but what I really object to is the absence of downside to the board from these sort of arrangements. I think that there should be corollary arrangements that they should have to pay a penalty if reasonable targets are not met , which is the situation that shareholders effectively face.
Sorry if I sound like Corbyn.
