Octopus AIM VCT 2 ( (GB:OSEC) ) has shared an update.
Octopus AIM VCT 2 has issued and allotted 8,227,930 new ordinary shares at 39.1p each under its joint offer for subscription with Octopus AIM VCT, part of a broader fundraising of up to £60 million across the 2025/2026 and 2026/2027 tax years. The new shares, which include an allocation to director Andrew Raynor, are expected to begin trading on the London Stock Exchange around 13 March 2026, taking the company’s total issued share capital and voting rights to 213,682,212 shares.
The enlarged share capital provides a new reference point for investors assessing disclosure thresholds under the FCA’s transparency rules. The issuance strengthens the trust’s capital base to deploy further investments in AIM-listed companies, potentially enhancing its capacity to support portfolio growth while modestly diluting existing shareholders in line with the terms of the prospectus-backed offer.
The most recent analyst rating on (GB:OSEC) stock is a Hold with a £34.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Octopus AIM VCT 2 stock, see the GB:OSEC Stock Forecast page.
Spark’s Take on GB:OSEC Stock
According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, GB:OSEC is a Neutral.
The score is held down primarily by weak and volatile financial performance (persistently negative operating cash flow and unstable revenue/earnings), reinforced by bearish technical momentum (negative MACD and very low RSI). Valuation also detracts due to an extremely high P/E, with the high dividend yield only partially offsetting these risks.
