GCP Infrastructure NAV Holds Steady at 102p as Net Debt Plunges 65% Amid £150m Disposal Drive

GCP Infrastructure Investments Limited (LSE: GCP) has posted a largely unchanged net asset value (NAV) for the second quarter, clocking in at 102.14 pence per share as of June 30, 2025. That's a minor dip from the 102.28 pence registered at the end of March, signaling a quarter of balancing forces rather than movement.

Breaking down the numbers, the NAV took a hit of 0.34 pence per share due to a downward revision in short and long-term power price forecasts. On the plus side, share buybacks gave the NAV a 0.22 pence bump, and solid actual generation from infrastructure assets added another 0.49 pence per share. So, somewhat of a tug of war this quarter, but overall pretty steady.

One notable tidbit is the sharp decline in net debt. It's expected to shrink from £29 million three months ago to roughly £10 million as of June 30. This improvement is partly thanks to confidential settlement terms linked to a legal claim involving ROC accreditation on solar assets-a detail that's kept under wraps but seems to be easing the debt load.

The company didn't offer fresh details on its active disposal program, which aims to offload more than £150 million worth of assets. Previously, management hinted they have about 40% of this target behind them, working on live negotiations around £200 million in potential sales.

Trading at 79 pence per share, GCP Infrastructure Investments sits at a notable 22% discount to its last reported NAV. Meanwhile, the stock attracts attention with a dividend yield hovering around 9%, a figure that's hard to ignore in the current market mood.

Not everyone's taking a backseat: RBC analysts keep their Outperform rating on GCP, setting a price target near 90 pence per share. Whether the gap closes anytime soon remains unclear, given how the NAV trends sidewise and the discount stubbornly persists.

Flat NAV and shrinking debt paint a cautious picture, but with power prices influencing valuations and a hefty asset disposal program still unwrapped, GCP's second half could tilt one way or the other. The question is: will the disposal momentum pick up speed, or will market headwinds hold it back?
