The latest announcement is out from Octopus AIM VCT 2 ( (GB:OSEC) ).
Octopus AIM VCT 2 has issued and allotted 2,393,872 new ordinary shares at 33.3p each under its latest offer for subscription, which is being run jointly with Octopus AIM VCT to raise up to £30 million with an additional £30 million over-allotment capacity across the 2025/2026 and 2026/2027 tax years. Admission of the new shares to the FCA’s Official List and trading on the London Stock Exchange’s main market is expected around 30 March 2026, increasing the company’s issued share capital and total voting rights to 215,206,814 ordinary shares, a new baseline for investors’ disclosure and transparency calculations.
The enlarged share capital following this issuance strengthens the trust’s capacity to deploy fresh capital into its pipeline of AIM-listed and growth companies, supporting its long-term investment strategy in the tax-advantaged VCT market. The revised voting rights figure also has immediate governance implications for shareholders, as it becomes the key denominator for regulatory notifications of holdings and changes in ownership under the FCA’s transparency rules.
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 OSEC Stock
According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, 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.
