Bernstein sets GBp 1,310 target

Investing.com reported on September 15, 2026, that Bernstein resumed coverage with an Outperform rating and a GBp 1,310 price target for National Grid's London-listed shares. Bernstein described the company as exposed to regulated businesses with growth and earnings visibility.

The analyst case rests on operating returns rather than a short-term trading signal. National Grid achieved a weighted average US return on equity of 9.1 percent in fiscal 2026, equal to more than 95 percent of the allowed level, according to the same September 15 report from Investing.com.

Network investment drives the debate

National Grid's portfolio was described as 75 percent electricity and 25 percent gas after its disposal program, with UK assets representing 55 percent of the total. The company has 17 ASTI transmission projects, and Eastern Green Link 1 has faced delivery delays, creating a concrete execution risk for the investment program, according to Investing.com.

Stock remains above yearly low

The NYSE quote stood 7.0 percent above its 52-week low of USD 70.35 on September 24, 2026. Trading volume was 1,011,997 shares against an average volume of 849,960, giving the session 19.1 percent more activity than the stated average.
