Greencoat UK Wind PLC

UK Investment TrustsVerified

Greencoat UK Wind PLC has a debt-to-equity ratio of 0.6, indicating a moderate level of leverage relative to its equity base. The company's current ratio of 0.18 suggests significant liquidity risk, as current assets are insufficient to cover current liabilities. The negative net cash position after subtracting total debt further highlights the company's liquidity constraints. The company's profitability metrics are negative, with a return on equity of -6.68% and a return on assets of -4.15%. These figures indicate that the company is not generating returns for its shareholders or effectively utilizing its assets. The negative operating and net income figures underscore the company's ongoing financial challenges. Greencoat UK Wind PLC operates as a single-segment entity focused on UK wind farm investments. The company's geographic exposure is concentrated in the UK, with no disclosed diversification into other regions. This concentration increases the company's vulnerability to UK-specific economic and regulatory risks. The company's growth trajectory is constrained by its negative revenue and net income figures. The operating cash flow of GBP 365.4 million provides some cash generation, but the free cash flow of -GBP 419.7 million indicates that the company is not generating sufficient cash to sustain operations without external financing. The risk assessment highlights medium liquidity risk and low dilution risk. The key flag of negative net cash after subtracting total debt suggests potential refinancing challenges. The company's capital structure and financial performance indicate a need for careful monitoring of liquidity and debt management. Recent events include analyst estimates with a mean price target of GBP 141.00 and a median price target of GBP 141.00. The mean recommendation of 2.00 suggests a neutral outlook, with one strong-buy, two buy, and one hold recommendation from analysts.
