An announcement from ECP Emerging Growth Ltd. ( (AU:ECP) ) is now available.

ECP Emerging Growth Limited reported an unaudited net tangible asset backing of 118.5 cents per share before tax and 118.4 cents after tax on unrealised gains as of 28 February 2026, down from 130.6 cents per share a month earlier. The portfolio remains concentrated, with the top five holdings—Block Inc., Judo Capital Holdings, HUB24, REA Group and Guzman Y Gomez—accounting for 35.3% of total equity investments, underscoring the manager’s high-conviction, long-term approach.

The company also updated investors on its proposed special dividend, noting that dividend reinvestment plan participation stands at 46.5% and must reach 80% before a payment timetable will be confirmed. This condition signals a focus on preserving capital within the vehicle and may delay the special payout, while the lower NTA highlights recent market or portfolio valuation pressures that existing and prospective shareholders will need to factor into their expectations.

The most recent analyst rating on (AU:ECP) stock is a Sell with a A$0.86 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on ECP Emerging Growth Ltd. stock, see the AU:ECP Stock Forecast page.
