What the Analysts think about SSE
Analyst ratings (Buy, Hold, Sell) for SSE stock.
Analyst projections of the future price of SSE stock.
Bulls say / Bears say
Renewable output is expected to be around 20% higher year on year, reflecting both better weather and added capacity. SSE also says Dogger Bank B turbine installation is past halfway and progressing in line with expectations. (SSE)
SSE says its 2030 renewable generation target is now unlikely to be met, citing a difficult market, policy uncertainty and grid-connection delays. It also booked a £155.8m charge on two Scottish wind farms after connection delays pushed back construction. (Financial Post)
Dogger Bank A has faced continuing technical problems after blade failures, delaying commissioning and raising possible licensing and insurance complications. Further setbacks could add costs and postpone returns from a major project. (Energy Voice)
The investment plan is capital-intensive: SSE expects about £2.5bn of first-half investment and around £11.5bn of adjusted net debt and hybrid capital. Large funding needs leave the company exposed to financing costs and the risk that future funding could dilute shareholders. (SSE)
