The bank cited SSE’s portfolio of renewable and network assets, as well as the near-term protection they provide from a higher-for-longer inflationary environment.
"Backed by a credible financing strategy, visible dividend, and potentially meaningful earnings upgrades to come, we see SSE as in a sweet spot to benefit," Citi said.
