Oakley Capital Investments ( (GB:OCI) ) has issued an update.
Oakley Capital Investments reported a 6% total NAV return per share for 2025, with NAV per share at 738p and a 15% total shareholder return despite a challenging macro backdrop. Portfolio companies delivered 11% average EBITDA growth, while contributions from assets such as Clio, Phenna Group and TechInsights offset weakness at Time Out Group.
The company invested £197m in new and follow-on deals and realised £92m from exits and refinancings, including a sale of vLex at more than six times gross return, supporting continued portfolio rotation. OCI also completed a £50m share buyback, committed €500m to Oakley Capital Fund VI, secured £191m in liquidity, and shifted its listing to the LSE Main Market with FTSE 250 inclusion, while positioning its diversified portfolio to benefit from AI adoption through dedicated AI-focused investments and an internal AI lab.
Board changes, including the appointment of Christopher Samuel as chair, underline a renewed focus on capital allocation and shareholder value as the firm navigates macroeconomic and technological uncertainty. Management argues that the current environment offers attractive entry points for private equity and sees its AI strategy and sector diversification as key to sustaining resilient returns for investors.
The most recent analyst rating on (GB:OCI) stock is a Hold with a £586.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Oakley Capital Investments stock, see the GB:OCI Stock Forecast page.
Spark’s Take on GB:OCI Stock
According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, GB:OCI is a Neutral.
The score is primarily driven by strong reported profitability and a conservative balance sheet, offset by meaningful revenue and (especially) cash-flow volatility. Technically the stock is in a modest uptrend with neutral momentum, while valuation looks reasonable but not cheap and the dividend yield is low. Positive corporate actions (notably ongoing buybacks and portfolio activity) provide a supportive secondary tailwind.
