Thames Water’s £16bn rescue deal is close — lenders may take 30% losses

Thames Water’s £16bn rescue deal is close — lenders may take 30% losses

Creditors of Thames Water could face losses of up to 30% as a £16 billion rescue package edges closer, The Times reported. Lenders would take the hit on its senior Class A debt and receive at least a 10% stake in the recapitalised company, the newspaper said. The talks matter now because Thames Water is running out of room: it needs fresh money to keep investing while regulators push harder on pollution and service failures. A breakdown would raise the risk of special administration, a government-run process designed to keep taps running even if a water company collapses.

  • Tesla (TSLA) Trades Above Industry Averages as Investors Weigh Valuation and Growth Bets
    June 30, 2026, 11:55 PM EDT. Tesla is trading at $420.60, up 91.3% over five years, but some numbers point to a stretched valuation. Its price-to-sales (P/S) ratio sits at 16.1x, well above the industry's 0.6x and peers at 1.4x. A separate fair value model comes in at 3.5x. Simply Wall St gives Tesla zero on its valuation checks, saying the stock doesn't stack up by earnings, assets, or cash flow. Bulls keep faith in Tesla's AI, robotics, and energy plans, supporting the high price, but there are worries about Full Self Driving and regulatory issues. The big question is whether Tesla's share price already bakes in its ambitious AI and energy goals or if investors have more to price in.
