United Utilities stock trades 7.61 percent below its yearly high

United Utilities stock traded at GBp 1,383 on the London Stock Exchange on September 24, 2026, down 0.14 percent in the session and 7.61 percent below its 52-week high of GBp 1,497. The valuation is set against a fiscal year 2026 revenue figure of GBP 2,616.3 million.

Revenue reaches GBP 2.6 billion

Financial statement data published by Investing.com show fiscal year 2026 revenue of GBP 2,616.3 million, compared with GBP 2,145.2 million in fiscal year 2025. That represents a 21.96 percent increase and gives the stock a clear earnings-based reference point beyond the intraday quotation.

The same fiscal statement lists operating profit at GBP 1,100.3 million in fiscal year 2026, compared with GBP 635.7 million one year earlier. The 73.08 percent increase was larger than the revenue gain, indicating that operating leverage was a major part of the latest financial picture.

Water network remains the core

United Utilities provides regulated water and wastewater services in the United Kingdom. Simply Wall St describes the company as a pure play on regulated UK water and wastewater, with GBP 2.6 billion in revenue from that business. The regulated structure links the operating outlook to permitted charges, infrastructure investment and service performance.

The company is also building its capital program for the 2025 to 2030 period. Its investor page states that an investor event on June 19 covered delivery of that program, keeping investment execution central to the equity story.
