NEWEN NATIONAL GRID PLC
Price Chart
Executive Summary
National Grid reported FY2026 results with underlying EPS of 78.0p, up 8% at constant currency, and record capital investment of £11.6 billion. The company guided for FY2027 underlying EPS growth of 13-15% and a five-year framework targeting at least £70 billion in capital investment with 8-10% underlying EPS CAGR. The FERC order on New England transmission returns was a notable headwind, but strong regulated performance in UK ET and New York drove results.
Actionable Insight
The strong FY2026 results and bullish FY2027 guidance (13-15% EPS growth) reinforce National Grid's investment thesis as a regulated utility with visible growth. Traders should watch for the FERC order appeal outcome and execution on the £70 billion capex plan. The stock may re-rate on the upgraded five-year framework and accelerating earnings trajectory.
