Bluefield Solar Income Fund - Update from QuotedData

25^th April 2024

Fundamentals shine despite discount

In common with the other funds in the renewable energy sector, the last six months have continued what has been a challenging period for the Bluefield Solar Income Fund (BSIF), with its ongoing fundamental performance (including strong revenue and earnings growth) failing to reverse a steady slide in its shares which began back in May 2023. Despite this, the company has continued to deliver solid NAV growth and market-leading shareholder distributions thanks to a range of contractual arrangements (discussed on page 6) that underpin its assets.

Whilst the falling share price remains frustrating for investors, positively, this does not appear to be a reflection on the company itself, but rather broader macro-economic conditions and negative sentiment surrounding UK companies, the investment companies sector and renewable energy infrastructure in particular. The board has signalled its dissatisfaction with the situation by authorising a £20m share buyback, which is currently underway.

With growth accelerating and a recently announced strategic partnership providing an avenue for the ongoing development of its pipeline, the outlook remains attractive, as does a well-covered dividend yield approaching 9%.
