Addressing the discount

On 26 November, Caledonia Investments (CLDN) released interim results covering the six-month period ended 30 September 2024. We provide some analysis of these in this note. There was a welcome narrowing of the share price discount to net asset value (NAV) over the period. However, the market turmoil that accompanied the UK budget and the US election has since reversed this, leaving CLDN trading on an excessively wide discount of 37.9%.

The board believes that CLDN's share price undervalues the quality of its portfolio and long-term track record, and we wholeheartedly agree with this. Understandably, the board and management are keen to do what they can to tackle the discount (see page 3), and NAV-accretive share buybacks play an important part in this. The company is asking shareholders to approve measures to enable their continued use (see page 5). Large independent shareholders were consulted ahead of this and presumably are supportive of the idea. We would encourage shareholders to back the proposal.
