Hardman & Co Insight: UK Utilities and COVID-19
Nigel Hawkins, Hardman’s Infrastructure and Renewables Specialist, analyses how the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted both stock markets in general and certain sectors in particular. Whilst the FTSE-100 has regained around half of the loss it sustained in March 2020, many sectors still remain very weak.As expected, defensive sectors have outperformed a falling market, with utilities (Centrica aside) being particularly resilient. Other traditional defensive sectors, such as food retailing and pharmaceuticals, have also performed solidly. By contrast, retail, leisure, travel, hotel and hospitality businesses continue to face, with a few exceptions, immense challenges.
