National Grid plc Stock (NG.L): Share Price, RIIO‑T3 Decision, Sea Link Contracts and Analyst Forecasts as of 20 December 2025

National Grid plc stock is heading into the end of 2025 with investors focused on a single, very modern problem: electrification is accelerating faster than grid infrastructure can comfortably keep up. For a regulated utility, that can be a gift (predictable, funded growth) or a headache (political scrutiny, bill impacts, execution risk). Right now, the market is weighing both. As of the latest available close (19 December 2025), National Grid shares (LSE: NG.) were trading around 1,142p, giving the group a market capitalisation of roughly £56.6 billion and a trailing dividend yield around 4.1% (based on broker-screen pricing).

SINGAPORE, Dec 20, 2025 — DBS Group Holdings Ltd (SGX: D05) has spent much of 2025 doing what banks love to do: turning macro noise into shareholder yield. But the most market-moving storyline right now isn’t just “rates up, rates down.” It’s a mix of big-ticket capital returns, wealth and fee momentum, and a fresh strategic win in renminbi (RMB) infrastructure that could broaden DBS’s role in Asia’s cross-border money plumbing. DBS shares last closed at S$54.87 on Dec 19 (Singapore market was shut on Dec 20), leaving the stock just off its 52-week high of S$56.00 set earlier this
