Hargreaves Services plc (LSE:HSP) has finalized the sale of the first tranche of its renewable energy land assets to Meadow Partners for an initial cash consideration of £8.8 million. An additional payment of up to £3.8 million may be received by 2029, depending on wind yield performance.
This transaction forms part of the company’s broader strategy to unlock value from its renewables portfolio and return capital to shareholders. It is expected to deliver a one-off net benefit to both profit before tax and cash flow for the financial year ending May 2026. The sale also marks the first in a series of planned asset disposals within its renewable energy division.
The company’s outlook remains supported by strong revenue growth and solid cash generation. While technical indicators point to potential short-term weakness, its valuation remains balanced, featuring a reasonable P/E ratio and an appealing dividend yield.
