National Grid raises earnings outlook for 2026/27 after strong NGV performance, Jefferies keeps 'hold' rating.

National Grid PLC has raised its earnings growth outlook for the 2026/27 financial year, expecting earnings per share growth slightly above its previous guidance of 13-15%. This improvement is driven by about £130 million of better-than-expected results from NGV, including one-off fair value gains and stronger interconnector performance. Despite the positive update, Jefferies has maintained a 'hold' rating with a 1,300p price target. The company expects New England operating profit to normalize after a one-off regulatory impact, with net debt remaining in line with guidance. National Grid's next update will be its half-year results due on 5 November.

National Grid's earnings outlook for 2026/27 has been raised, with expected EPS growth slightly above 13-15%.
