Octopus Renewables Infrastructure Trust Plc ( (GB:ORIT) ) has provided an update.

Octopus Renewables Infrastructure Trust plc has agreed to sell a 49% stake in its 67 MW Breach solar farm in Cambridgeshire and divest its entire 51% holding in the 46 MW Crossdykes onshore wind farm in Scotland, both at their carrying valuations, lifting total 2025 disposal proceeds to £74.3 million when combined with earlier platform exits. The Breach and Crossdykes stakes are being acquired primarily by Tokyo Century Corporation, with the remaining 2% of Crossdykes going to an Octopus Energy Generation-managed fund; ORIT will use the cash proceeds to reduce leverage in line with its capital allocation plan and to free up capacity for future construction‑stage investments under its ‘ORIT 2030’ strategy, while retaining majority ownership of Breach and the option to add battery storage from 2029, underscoring confidence in asset valuations and ongoing capital recycling across its portfolio.

The most recent analyst rating on (GB:ORIT) stock is a Hold with a £0.85 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Octopus Renewables Infrastructure Trust Plc stock, see the GB:ORIT Stock Forecast page.

Spark’s Take on GB:ORIT Stock

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, GB:ORIT is a Outperform.

Octopus Renewables Infrastructure Trust Plc scores a solid 72, driven by strong financial health and positive technical signals. The company’s strategic corporate actions, including share buybacks and dividend increases, underscore its commitment to shareholder value. Despite high valuation metrics, the attractive dividend yield provides a counterbalance. The primary concern remains the declining revenue trend, which could impact long-term growth.
