Dunedin Enterprise Investment Trust PLC on Friday said in the six months ended June 30, its pretax profit plummeted on lower gain on investments, and said a drop in its net asset value resulted from a dividend payment for 2022. The Edinburgh-based UK and overseas companies’ investor said at June 30, net asset value per share fell by 2.9% to 609.2 pence from 627.1p per share at December 31. NAV total return was 1.0% compared to 4.0% a year prior. This follows the payment of a final dividend of 25.0p for 2022, Dunedin said. Pretax profit plunged to £389,000 from £3.0 million the year before, as gain on investments fell to £430,000 from £2.6 million in the first half of 2022. Looking ahead, as Dunedin continues to wind-down, the company said it will keep assessing whether its ‘current arrangements remain in the interests of shareholders,’ and added it is considering maintaining its listed status. Shares in Dunedin were down 2.3% at 544.96 pence each in London on Friday morning. Copyright 2023 Alliance News Ltd. All Rights Reserved.
