  • United Utilities and Severn Trent Shares Soar on Ofwat Regulatory Boost
    April 30, 2026, 2:13 PM EDT. United Utilities (UU) saw its share price jump 11% in one day, defying typical utility sector expectations amid an £800m share issuance. This surge comes after Ofwat's regulatory settlement raised water bills and allowed for potential additional spending of £2.5bn, which could further increase UU's asset base growth to 10% per year through 2030. Key institutional investors like Australia's Future Fund and Atlas Infrastructure supported UU's equity raise. The planned spending aims to fund infrastructure around Manchester, potentially raising household bills by £10 each. Meanwhile, Severn Trent's shares rose 7%, driven by hopes for similar regulatory opportunities. Both firms have reached all-time highs, outperforming the FTSE 100, illustrating investor confidence despite sector-wide challenges.
