On April 27, 2019, some media houses reported that the company is exploring potential opportunities to sell its retail supply unit.
However, the group will update investors on May 22, 2019, on the future of its household supply business, which was valued at £1 bn by the chief of SSE Plc, Alistair Phillips-Davies.
The group has also approached TalkTalk Telecom Group, a broadband provider but despite several talks, a pact between TalkTalk telecom and SSE Plc is unlikely, as per a media house report.
On December 17, 2018, SSE and Innogy scrapped out their strategic plan to merge their household supply unit post the industry administrator announced a cap on consumer bills and left SSE Plc to seek other options for its grappling retail arm.
Institutional investors like BlackRock Institutional Trust Company, N.A., Capital Research Global Investors, Causeway Capital Management LLC and UBS Limited are the top stakeholders in the SSE Plc.
The groupâs debt-to-equity ratio for FY18 stood at 1.65, however industry median debt-to-equity ratio stood at 0.49, as per Thomson Reuters.
