Analysis

Middle-of-the-road

Severn Trent PLC is a middle-of-the-road business: neither the economics nor the price stand out from the peer group.

Valuation data is not available for this company.

The trajectory is moderate and the balance sheet is fragile. The company scores 8/20 on our value-creation score: creating some value.

Nothing is flagged here: no red or amber gates, no divergence between profits and cash. That is itself information: the numbers are straightforward. As always: this describes the company's numbers; it is not a recommendation.
