SSE PLC Raises Profit Outlook Before Results — But Investors Eye the Accounting Catch

SSE PLC Raises Profit Outlook Before Results — But Investors Eye the Accounting Catch

SSE PLC raised its full-year profit outlook, after a shift in accounting treatment at Neos Networks reined in loss recognition. Investors get a clearer—though not cash-linked—boost as they wait for results May 28. The Perth-based group, focused on power networks and renewables, now sees adjusted earnings per share in the 149p-154p range, up from the 147p-152p it indicated in April. That accounting tweak should tack on 1.9p to adjusted earnings metrics, but prior reports won’t be restated, the company said. Timing is key here. SSE wants shareholders on board as it pushes through a major grid-build, and when May results hit, investors will be watching debt, cash flow and progress just as closely as profits.

SSE PLC Raises Profit Guidance Before Results—Here’s the Accounting Move Behind It

SSE PLC nudged its profit forecast higher just ahead of its full-year numbers, though the bump was driven by an accounting move linked to Neos Networks—not from fresh improvements in the business itself. Perth, Scotland-based power generator and network operator now expects adjusted earnings per share for 2025/26 to land between 149p and 154p—a notch up from April’s forecast of 147p to 152p for the same profit measure, which excludes certain items.

New York, Feb 13, 2026, 06:02 EST — Premarket ICON plc stock was flat at $80.08 before the bell Friday, steadying after a brutal 40% drop the previous session. The Dublin-based clinical research firm has launched an internal probe into its accounting controls, pulled its full-year 2025 outlook, and postponed reporting its results until late April. CEO Barry Balfe said the group is now rolling out “corrective actions” aimed at shoring up its reporting controls.
