Half-year numbers improved

According to FT.com on September 18, 2026, the company also said the dividend yield on a trailing 12-month basis on the ordinary shares was 7.95% as at June 30, 2026, while dividends of 1.73 pence and 1.75 pence per share were paid in the period shown. That puts income generation alongside the narrower loss profile.
Income and capital return
The second FT.com filing also showed a NAV total return of 2.36% for the six months to June 30, 2026, compared with a benchmark return of 3.82%. For investors, that gap is the key comparison in the latest update.
