Analysis

Middle-of-the-road

National Grid plc sits in the middle of our grid: average quality, average price, no obvious signal in either direction.

Valuation data is not available for this company.

Growth is solid; the safety picture is stretched. The company scores 4/20 on our value-creation score: not creating value. Analyst sentiment is cautious.

Flags to be aware of: The financial cushion is thinner than comfortable. As always: this describes the company's numbers; it is not a recommendation.
