Key Investment Rationale – Buy at GBX 1,773.00

• Continued Regulatory Clarity Supports Long-Term Planning: The UK Government’s decision to retain a national pricing system for wholesale electricity provides greater certainty for investors. This policy continuity enhances the investment case for SSE’s long-term infrastructure commitments, reinforcing confidence in the UK as a stable renewables market.

• Capital Investment in Networks: SSE’s network operations demonstrated consistent performance, with adjusted investment in the segment rising by nearly 70% year-on-year in Q1 FY26. This reflects progress in delivering essential infrastructure and maintaining momentum in the company’s five-year £17.5bn capital investment programme.

• Strategic Progress on Key Projects: Major project milestones—including Scottish Government approval for the Skye Reinforcement and the final investment decision on the Platin power station—underscore tangible movement on critical infrastructure. These initiatives are aligned with energy security goals and low-carbon ambitions across the UK and Ireland.

• Financial Outlook Remains on Track: Despite weather-related impacts on renewables output, SSE has reiterated its adjusted EPS guidance for FY26. This consistency reflects a balanced portfolio and supports investor confidence, especially ahead of the crucial winter period.
