Crickets share price wise on the completion of the wind farm sale. Long may the buyback continue as at the 35% discount to NAV it is printing money for shareholders. With the RCF fully paid there is no short term interest rate variability within the portfolio; swaps at the portfolio level go into the 2030s. It comes down to what spread investors want over the 5 or 10 year, whichever their benchmark should be.

The update was fine and comforting. At 78p DORE trading on a 34% discount and a 7.5% dividend (on 2024 tgt). Discount at the high end of the Renewables and Infrastructure universe, but dividend in bottom half. The problem with the company is its size and lack of liquidity. At £140m mkt cap it's too small from a liquidity perspective to be of interest to the majority of Institutional / Discretionary investors. This point was emphasised to me by one of the former the other day. DORE are clearly not the only one in that bucket currently, but it does mean that, outside any major corporate action (there is no continuation vote scheduled as far as I am aware) or collapse in bond yields, there is unlikely to be any material narrowing of the discount. So this remains very much an income stock to me with the potential at some point for some capital upside.

Citywire comment



concludes...

Given the shares are trading well below par, the fund cannot raise cash through the public market, so Downing is considering finding a co-investor for the Swedish hydro portfolio, which totals 20 assets, validating the NAV and helping also to drive a rerating in the shares.

Williams said they could sell other assets to generate more cash, but solar in the UK is pretty well marked to market already.

Debt stands at 40% of gross asset value, costing 5%-6%, Williams said, pointing out that they could use excess cash to pay it off within two years, but the cash was better used investing in hydropower.

Deutsche Numis analyst Colette Ord said the addition of the non-generating assets was a point of difference versus peers and highlighted both the breadth of DORE’s mandate and focus on diversification of both technology and revenue stream.

She added that the 36% discount was 16% below its sector peers, ‘which in-part reflects the fund being viewed as sub-scale’.

There is clearly a sector wide issue in terms of share price performance and the scale of some of the discounts. There are clearly more buyers than sellers, even with a (modest) buyback in place. The relatively low dividend has clearly not helped and even at the current high 30s discount the yield is "only" 7.7%. This is a 300bp+ pick-up relative to a 10yr Gilt, which I think is now reasonable in a vehicle that is geared and has NAV sensitivity to a number of factors. I'm happy to buy for the yield and wait and hope that there will be some discount narrowing on the back of future rate cuts / lower government bond yields. Even a share price recovery to 85p (where it was under a month ago), still a high 20s discount, gives you a 20%+ TR. Risk / Reward looks tilted in investors' favour at current levels, but there is definitely a need to be patient. An add for me.

Recording and Q&A from yesterday's presentation is available here



About half the asset value is UK solar, but the other half is European, primarily Swedish hydropower, where the NAV actually increases with time.

While I'm certainly not an expert, this does seem to be a well run company, with inflation-linked revenue for years to come, and a long time before debt needs renewing. Perhaps this is a real bargain because it's in an unloved sector? Otherwise, I'm not sure why the discount is widening so much

I watched the investor meet presentation yesterday - it probably didn't add much if you already know company, but I was cheered by the diversification of exposure, by renewable type, and geographical region.
