Pennon Group plc’s stock price has surged following the announcement of a £490 million rights issue, part of a £3.2 billion investment plan focused on boosting customer outcomes and environmental sustainability by 2030. This strategic move is set to enhance the company’s regulatory capital value by at least 34%, with a projected 7% return on regulated equity. The initiative is in line with Ofwat’s Final Determinations and supports projects like new reservoirs and nature recovery programs. Analysts have maintained a Buy rating on Pennon, showing confidence in the company’s strategic path and commitment to shareholder value, bolstered by a new dividend policy tied to CPIH inflation for long-term financial stability.
