Seraphim Space Investment Trust Plc (LSE:SSIT) reported a strong performance for the six months ending 31 December 2025, with net asset value increasing 20.1% to £337.5m. The value of its investment portfolio rose 27.6% to £331.6m, supported by significant valuation gains in several core holdings and a narrowing of the trust’s share price discount.
The company noted that approximately 77% of the portfolio’s value is backed by companies with a secure cash runway, while more than 85% of holdings are expected to achieve EBITDA profitability by 2026. Liquidity remains solid, with £22.1m in cash alongside listed investments providing additional financial flexibility.
Growth during the period was largely driven by substantial defence and government-related contracts as well as successful fundraising rounds among key portfolio companies. Businesses including ICEYE, ALL.SPACE, D-Orbit and HawkEye 360 secured large contracts and attracted significant Series D and Series E financing, contributing to higher valuations across the portfolio.
Activity has continued beyond the reporting period. Additional commercial contracts, satellite launches and capital raises at companies such as ICEYE, SatVu, Tomorrow.io and Pixxel have strengthened the strategic positioning of the portfolio. These developments highlight the growing demand for services linked to space-based surveillance, radio-frequency intelligence and weather data, reinforcing SSIT’s exposure to a rapidly expanding SpaceTech market.
Despite the portfolio’s operational momentum, the trust’s outlook is moderated by weaker financial quality metrics. Results remain influenced by valuation changes and the company continues to report negative operating cash flow. However, the balance sheet remains conservative with no debt. From a technical perspective, the share price trend remains positive with strong momentum, although indicators suggest the stock may be approaching stretched levels. Valuation analysis is limited due to the absence of conventional metrics such as a price-to-earnings ratio and dividend yield.
