FTSE 100 movers: Water firms gush higher; DCC in the red

Thu 11 Jul 2024 14:49

(Sharecast News) - London's FTSE 100 was up 0.3% at 8,219.41 in afternoon trade on Thursday. Severn Trent and United Utilities both gained after regulator Ofwat outlined draft determinations regarding the industry's five-year investment plans.

Severn Trent noted that the regulator had categorised its business plans as "outstanding".

Severn was in also in focus as it hailed a strong financial performance over its first quarter and said it continues to expect to hit guidance.

Severn Trent expects to deliver a net Outcome Delivery Incentive (ODI) reward - a measure used by Ofwat to monitor its performance - of more than £100m pre-customer-sharing in 2017/18 prices.

"This would bring our total net ODI reward in AMP7 to around £420m in nominal prices, reflecting consistent sector-leading performance for customers," it said.

On the downside, international sales, marketing and support services group DCC fell as it reported a "modest" improvement in first-quarter operating profit.

It also announced completion of the sale of its majority stake in Hong Kong & Macau Liquid gas business to CPL.
