An update from Litigation Capital Management ( (GB:LIT) ) is now available.

Litigation Capital Management Limited reported a significant positive development in the high-profile international arbitration it funded against the Republic of Poland, after a Singapore court fully rejected Poland’s application to set aside a substantial Energy Charter Treaty award. The underlying case, which previously resulted in awards of £252 million plus interest under the ECT and £183 million plus interest under the Australia-Poland Bilateral Investment Treaty (with no double recovery allowed), has seen LCM invest US$11.3 million alongside its Fund I investors and now carries a contractual entitlement of about US$71.9 million in potential proceeds, of which US$18.0 million would accrue to LCM shareholders and US$53.9 million to Fund I investors; however, the company does not expect to earn a performance fee from Fund I on this matter due to earlier adverse fund outcomes, and any final benefit remains subject to a likely appeal by Poland and the timing of its resolution.

The most recent analyst rating on (GB:LIT) stock is a Sell with a £9.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Litigation Capital Management stock, see the GB:LIT Stock Forecast page.

Spark’s Take on GB:LIT Stock

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

The overall stock score is primarily impacted by the company’s weak financial performance, characterized by declining revenues, profitability issues, and increased leverage. Technical analysis also indicates a bearish trend, with the stock trading below key moving averages and weak momentum indicators. The valuation is unattractive due to a negative P/E ratio and no dividend yield.
