Growth guidance moves higher
National Grid said on October 5, 2026, that fiscal 2027 underlying earnings per share growth should be slightly above its 13 to 15 percent guidance. The update covered the six months ended September 30, 2026, and kept regulated operations broadly in line with expectations, according to FT.
The same update said National Grid Ventures and Other would deliver GBP 130 million of additional first-half performance relative to expectations. The company attributed that contribution to one-off fair value gains from two capital-market transactions and stronger interconnector performance.
What does the outlook mean?
The earnings signal is partly supported by investment gains rather than only by regulated network operations. Underlying earnings per share is expected to be weighted toward the second half, while closing half-year net debt is expected to remain broadly in line with full-year guidance.
Three dated signals for the stock

Next date for investors
National Grid has scheduled its half-year results for November 5, 2026. The release will cover the six months ended September 30, 2026 and should show how much of the improved outlook came from recurring operations.
