SSE Gains After Increasing Full-Year Earnings Guidance -- Market Talk

Dow Jones
Jan 20, 2023

1057 GMT - Shares in SSE rise 2% after the power generator increased adjusted earnings-per-share guidance for the year to the end of March by at least 25% to more than 150 pence. Higher gas prices and better gas-storage performance were to thank for the rise, helping to offset lower-than-expected renewable-energy output, Hargreaves Lansdown says. "Overall, the markets appeared to like this update and the group's valuation is now trading up around 9% over the past year," HL analyst Aarin Chiekrie writes. "Despite the re-base of its dividend to fund investment plans, the group's still paying a healthy dividend at a 3.9% forward yield. But remember, no dividends are guaranteed."
