SSE stock (ISIN GB0007908733) was trading at GBp 2,474 on the London Stock Exchange on September 25, 2026, at 2:52 p.m. London time. The share price was down GBp 1, or 0.04 percent, against the previous close as Berenberg lifted its target from GBp 2,800 to GBp 2,980 on September 17, 2026. For investors, the valuation debate now centers on SSE's regulated network investment.

Berenberg raises its target

According to Sharecast on September 17, 2026, Berenberg reiterated its Buy rating and raised the SSE target by GBp 180, equal to 6.4 percent, from GBp 2,800 to GBp 2,980. The broker identified the company's long-duration growth opportunity as the reason for the higher valuation.

The same Sharecast report said SSE's 2026A to 2030E investment plan totals GBP 33 billion, with 80 percent allocated to regulated networks. Eleven major transmission projects account for 75 percent of SSE's RIIO-T3 totex, giving the investment case a measurable delivery focus.

Network spending drives the case

SSE's investor-relations page describes a transmission program above GBP 29 billion and lists the company's full-year results for the year ended March 31, 2026. The page also identifies the Q1 Trading Statement for 2026/27, linking the current strategy to a reporting cycle that will provide the next operating checkpoints.

According to Quartr on September 3, 2026, SSE is targeting GBP 29 billion or more of transmission investment by 2030 and expects regulated returns above 9 percent. The presentation summary also cites network reliability above 99.99 percent, a measurable operating foundation for the planned expansion.

Upcoming dates set the rhythm

SSE's investor-relations calendar lists a trading update for October 1, 2026, followed by interim results for the six months ended September 30, 2026, on November 18, 2026. Those dates give the market two defined checkpoints for testing delivery against the network-led investment plan.
