What the Analysts think about UKW

Analyst ratings (Buy, Hold, Sell) for Greencoat UK Wind/Funds stock.

Bulls say / Bears say

The trust’s distinct dividend policy, linked to RPI, has supported uninterrupted increases for 12 straight years, resulting in a current yield of nearly 9%. This offers investors solid inflation protection (Trustnet).
Since October 2023, the board has repurchased over £200 million worth of shares and intends to continue buybacks funded by asset sales, illustrating active capital management aimed at supporting the share price (Trustnet).
Revisions to the Contracts for Difference framework in the UK now extends contract lengths for both offshore and onshore wind to 20 years, providing better revenue certainty and reducing offtake risk across UKW’s portfolio (Reuters).
UKW currently trades at a discount of about 26% to NAV and is approaching its second annual discontinuation vote. The wide discount signals ongoing investor scepticism about the trust’s future prospects (Trustnet).
Operational challenges, including a malfunctioning export cable at the flagship asset Hornsea One and lower-than-average wind conditions in 2024, have impacted revenue and reduced dividend cover to 1.3×, down from the usual 1.7×–1.8× range (Trustnet).
Substantial leverage—approximately 39% of gross asset value (equivalent to 60% of NAV) at a blended interest rate near 4.6%—leaves UKW exposed to higher financing costs in a persistently high UK interest rate environment (Trustnet).
