Digital 9 Infrastructure Slashes NAV as Arqiva Written Down, Sets First Capital Return

Digital 9 Infrastructure Plc ( (GB:DGI9) ) has issued an announcement.

Digital 9 Infrastructure reported a sharp fall in net asset value to 9.3 pence per share for 2025, driven by asset disposals and a major write-down of its stake in broadcast and communications group Arqiva to a nil equity value. The group completed the sales of EMIC-1, SeaEdge UK1 and subsea cable operator Aqua Comms for £76.7 million, enabling full repayment and cancellation of its revolving credit facility and leaving the company in a net cash position that materially reduces financial risk.

Following the year end, Digital 9 also secured a £10 million cash settlement on the Verne Global earn-out, supporting the first compulsory share redemption equivalent to about 3.5 pence per share expected by late April 2026. With just Arqiva and data-centre platform Elio Networks remaining in the portfolio, management is focused on maximising value from these assets, with Elio trading ahead of plan, while the Arqiva revaluation reflects more conservative long-term assumptions and market transaction evidence rather than current trading weakness, shaping the scale and timing of future capital returns to investors.

The most recent analyst rating on (GB:DGI9) stock is a Sell with a £0.06 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Digital 9 Infrastructure Plc stock, see the GB:DGI9 Stock Forecast page.
