• 2. Berenberg Bank analysts commented, "The bond-market-led fall in National Grid's share price at the end of 2016 has created an opportunity to buy this robust income stock. We do not believe that the current share price fairly reflects the GBP4bn net proceeds that National Grid expects to return to shareholders from the sale of its Gas Distribution stake starting in Q2 2017. We believe National Grid is mispriced, so we upgrade it to Buy." (1/20/2017)
