Hargreave Hale AIM VCT 1 ( (GB:HHV) ) has shared an update.
Hargreave Hale AIM VCT reported a marginal decline in performance for the year to 30 September 2025, with net asset value per share falling to 36.46p and a NAV total return of -0.22%, underperforming the AIM benchmark despite a strong second half that delivered a 9.36% gain. The VCT invested £4.8 million into seven qualifying companies, lifted qualifying exposure to nearly 99% by VCT tax value, maintained its 4.00p tax-free dividend and proposed a further final and special payout, while closing its latest share offer after raising £5.6 million. Against a backdrop of sustained outflows from UK equities, weak IPO markets and challenging fiscal policy, the board and managers highlighted continued pressure on short-term returns but pointed to deep value in UK small caps, an active private markets pipeline and solid liquidity across bonds, funds and cash as they position the portfolio for a potential upturn, with key shareholder dates set around dividend payments and the February 2026 AGM.
Spark’s Take on GB:HHV Stock
According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, GB:HHV is a Neutral.
The overall score is influenced by the company’s financial difficulties, particularly in income generation and cash flow. Technical indicators suggest ongoing bearish trends, while valuation is negatively impacted by losses despite a high dividend yield. Corporate events add some stability, but the overall outlook remains challenging.
