United Utilities (ISIN GB00B39J2M42) was trading at EUR 16.93 at Lang & Schwarz on September 30, 2026 at 12:31 p.m. CEST, up 2.36 percent from the prior close of EUR 16.54. The water utility kept its 2026/27 guidance unchanged and is seeking GBP 1.0 billion of additional investment through the AMP8 regulatory process.
AMP8 investment reaches GBP 2.0 billion
According to Investegate, United Utilities said on September 25, 2026 that it remains on track for GBP 2.0 billion of capital investment in fiscal 2026/27 and GBP 11.5 billion across AMP8. The five-year program covers the period through 2030.
The company also targets regulatory returns of 10.00 percent to 11.00 percent during AMP8. Its submission to Ofwat includes GBP 191.0 million of strategic infrastructure investment using a gated mechanism and GBP 79.0 million of asset-specific work funded directly.
JPMorgan keeps a GBP 14.50 target
J.P. Morgan analysts Pavan Mahbubani and Samanvitha Theegela said United Utilities should outperform over the coming years after its guidance was maintained, TradingView reported on September 25, 2026. The bank nevertheless kept a neutral rating and a GBP 14.50 price target, highlighting the limited prospect of a fiscal 2026 re-rating.
That contrast defines the stock's setup: the investment pipeline is large, but the next valuation step depends on regulatory approval and execution. United Utilities has said it expects Ofwat's final decision in December 2026.
Interim results arrive November 12
United Utilities is scheduled to publish its interim results for 2026/27 on November 12, 2026, according to Investing.com. The report will provide the next quantified test of operational performance after the company said trading was in line with expectations on September 25.
