Foresight VCT plc has launched a new share offer to raise up to £40 million, giving existing and new investors another opportunity to invest in the trust and access VCT tax benefits before the end of the 2025/26 tax year. The capital raised is intended to support the VCT’s liquidity for future investments, sustain its dividend policy, fund buybacks of its own shares and cover running costs, while the pricing structure, set at net asset value plus investor-related offer costs, is designed so that the new issue is not expected to materially dilute existing shareholders’ net asset value per share; the board has also confirmed that promoter and related party fees paid to Foresight Group LLP are in line with market practice and have been judged fair and reasonable by the company’s sponsor, BDO LLP.

Spark’s Take on GB:FTV Stock

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, GB:FTV is a Neutral.

The score is driven primarily by a very strong, low-risk balance sheet (no debt) but is held back by uneven cash generation and revenue volatility. Technicals are neutral with little trend strength, while the high dividend yield provides a valuation support.
