Much of Britain's water infrastructure is more than 200 years old and requires major upgrades, notably to reduce storm overflows. This should result in a material investment increase in the next five-year regulatory regime AMP8 starting in April 2025, which will support earnings growth.
Higher investments and returns under AMP8 will boost earnings growth.
The company lacks diversification, which brings regulatory risk.
