The latest announcement is out from Hargreave Hale AIM VCT 1 ( (GB:HHV) ).

Hargreave Hale AIM VCT plc has extended the closing date for applications under its current share offer for the 2025/26 tax year, which is seeking up to £20 million with an additional £10 million over-allotment capacity. The deadline for receipt of application forms and subscription monies has been moved from the afternoon of 25 March 2026 to noon on 31 March 2026, giving investors more time to secure current-year tax treatment.

The board is urging existing shareholders and new investors to submit applications as early as possible to ensure inclusion in this tax year, ahead of a scheduled reduction in VCT income tax relief. Following a UK government decision, the income tax relief on new VCT share subscriptions will fall from 30% to 20% from 6 April 2026, so shares issued under this offer before that date are still expected to qualify for the higher 30% relief, potentially boosting demand before the deadline.

The most recent analyst rating on (GB:HHV) stock is a Hold with a £33.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Hargreave Hale AIM VCT 1 stock, see the GB:HHV Stock Forecast page.

Spark’s Take on GB:HHV Stock

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

The score is driven primarily by mixed financials: a conservative, debt-free balance sheet is a clear positive, but it is weighed down by volatile earnings, a steep 2025 revenue decline, and consistently negative operating cash flow. Technical signals are weak (oversold/negative momentum), while the high dividend yield and positive corporate updates provide partial support.
