Stöffen, ich weiß auch nichts über den Rückgang bei United Utilities. Allerdings bin ich mir auch nicht sicher, welchen Chart Du verwendest; ich bastel mal selber welche: Einmal FFM, einmal LSE, je drei Jahre. In € haben sie auf dem Uptrend gedreht, in £ ist er durchbrochen. Unterhalb der 200er EMA ist's eh' gefährlich, aber oberhalb der 10€, bzw. 7£ sähe es wieder chancenreicher aus. Über die News-Suche von google.co.uk hab ich zumindest eine relativ zeitnahe Meldung gefunden, die sich eigentlich gut anhört, wenn auch vieles nur in line with expectations verläuft, aber immerhin in line: Quelle United Utilities Current Trading In Line With Expectations; Proposes To Increase Final Dividend By 2.4% [UU.L] 7/27/2007 1:08:27 PM United Utilities PLC (UU.L, UUPLY.PK) said that it has made an excellent progress in the last financial year, with good profit growth and operational improvements. The company noted that it is proposing to increase the final dividend by 2.4%. The company also said its current trading is in line with its expectations. In its annual general meeting to be held today, the company said it would introduce Paul Capell, who was appointed to the Board as Business Development Director on 1 May 2007 (...) United Utilities said it has planned to focus on its core skills, including managing water, wastewater, electricity and gas networks. According to this plan, the company sold Vertex for around £218 million and its residual stake in THUS Group plc for about £76 million. Previously, on June 5, 2007, the company said it had decided to sell its electricity distribution assets to maximize shareholder value. The company said the sale process is progressing in line with its expectations. The company has planned to return the net equity proceeds to shareholders. The company has now over £1.5 billion of long-term, index-linked funding at interest rate around 1.8% real. As proposed United Utilities has now delisted from the New York Stock Exchange. The company noted that it delisted its ADSs and Shares form with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, due to the low number of outstanding ADSs and the low trading of its ADSs. The company expects to be benefited from the regulated businesses in this financial year from allowed price increases, including inflation, of 8.3% in the water business and 3.7% in the electricity business. The proceeds from the Vertex and THUS sale transactions have served to lower net debt. With predictable index-linked revenue streams, the company remains confident in delivering profits in line with its expectations for the year. (...)
