UIL Ltd ( (GB:UTL) ) just unveiled an update.

UIL Limited reported a strong February, with net asset value total return rising 19.1%, significantly ahead of the FTSE All Share’s 6.5%, and a three-month NAV total return of 31.0% versus 12.1% for the index. Broader equity markets were mostly positive, with gains in the FTSE 100, Euro Stoxx and ASX 200, while the S&P 500 slipped and sterling weakened against major commodity-linked currencies.

Portfolio performance was driven by sharp gains in key holdings, including a 34.0% rise in Horizon Gold, which launched a AUD 30m equity raise to accelerate its Gum Creek project, and a 23.3% gain in Resimac, which announced both ordinary and special dividends. UIL’s ordinary share price climbed 20.0%, the NAV discount narrowed slightly, zero dividend preference shares advanced, and the company declared a second quarterly interim dividend for the year to 30 June 2026.

The most recent analyst rating on (GB:UTL) stock is a Hold with a £216.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on UIL Ltd stock, see the GB:UTL Stock Forecast page.

Spark’s Take on GB:UTL Stock

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

The score is driven primarily by the 2025 financial turnaround (improved profitability, balance sheet leverage, and positive cash flow), supported by a strong technical uptrend. Extremely low P/E and a solid dividend yield further lift the rating, while the key risk is the company’s pronounced multi-year volatility and near-overbought momentum signals.
