Octopus Renewables Infrastructure Trust plc (LSE:ORIT) has announced the sale of its entire 25% stake in HYRO Energy Limited, a UK-based green hydrogen and e-fuels platform, for £4.6 million. The divestment aligns with ORIT’s strategy to focus on core sectors more closely suited to its scale and near-term objectives, including wind, solar, and other complementary technologies. The move highlights the company’s commitment to capital discipline and active portfolio management as it continues to optimize its investment mix.
ORIT maintains a solid financial outlook supported by strong balance sheet fundamentals and favorable technical indicators. Strategic initiatives such as share buybacks and dividend increases reflect a focus on enhancing shareholder value. Although elevated valuation metrics present a challenge, the company’s attractive dividend yield helps offset these concerns. A key risk remains the downward revenue trend, which could influence longer-term growth prospects.
