UIL Limited reported a significant decline in its net asset value (NAV) total return, which decreased by 8.3% during February, underperforming against the FTSE All Share total return Index that gained 1.3% in the same period. This underperformance is attributed to broader market sentiment influenced by major events such as Donald Trump's inauguration as U.S. President and the release of a competing AI technology by DeepSeek, a relatively new player in the industry. The performance in U.S. markets reflected similar trends, with the NASDAQ Composite Index falling by 4.0% and the S&P 500 down by 1.4%.

As of March 13, 2025, UIL's NAV per share stood at 151.65p (ex-income) and 162.40p (cum-income) for its ordinary shares. For its Zero Dividend Preference Shares, the accrued capital entitlements were reported as 139.89p for 2026 and 124.30p for 2028. These figures indicate a stable valuation trend despite the recent downturn in January and February, presenting potential recovery opportunities as the company navigates market volatility.
