What the Analysts think about Severn Trent
Analyst ratings (Buy, Hold, Sell) for Severn Trent stock.
Analyst projections of the future price of Severn Trent stock.
Bulls say / Bears say
FY26 profit before interest and tax rose 45.9% to £861m and beat market expectations, while Severn Trent raised its FY28 adjusted earnings-per-share outlook to at least 250p from 224p. That gives the growth case both a strong recent result and a higher target. (Reuters)
Ofwat provisionally allowed £329m of Severn Trent Water’s mid-cycle funding request. If confirmed and delivered, the extra funded work could support further growth in the regulated asset base. (Smart Water Magazine)
Ofwat accepted Severn Trent’s undertakings without imposing a financial penalty, and reported that storm-overflow spills per site fell 41% in 2025. That points to improving environmental performance and avoids an immediate fine, though the company still has work to do. (Ofwat)
Net finance costs rose 24% to £302m and regulated gearing increased to 63.6% in FY26; planned FY27 capital investment is £2.2bn–£2.5bn. The borrowing needed to fund this programme could keep pressure on financing costs and the balance sheet. (Severn Trent)
The East Midlands was declared in drought after its driest July on record, while Severn Trent’s water reserves fell to 65.3% capacity. If dry conditions and high demand persist, water availability could put more strain on operations and require costly supply measures. (BBC News)
