** Utilities co on track for sharpest two-day gain in nearly 4 mths following from Bernstein's upgrade to "outperform" from "market-perform" on Monday

** SocGen says low RCV premium could fuel speculation of an infrastructure fund bid approach, especially as co has strongest balance sheet of 3 listed water co peers

** Co trades at forward P/E ratio of 19.3 vs Pennon at 18.9 and Severn Trent (Other OTC: STRNY - news) 22.3

** 4 of 17 brokerages rate the stock "buy" or higher, 11 "hold" and 2 "sell" or lower; their median PT is 960p
