Duke Capital's Strategic Growth and Future Plans

In April 2024, Hardman & Co Research underscored Duke Capital's (DUKE) strategy to blend equity and debt effectively. This strategy aims to deliver equity-like returns, maintaining debt-level risks. The four key return pillars were identified as term credit, participating preference shares, early exit fees, and equity stakes.

DUKE plans to enhance its growth by issuing equity worth over £20.2 million. This move is aimed at bolstering short-term growth. Additionally, progress towards adopting a third-party capital model is underway, potentially eliminating the need for future capital raises.

Investors are keen on DUKE’s attractive dividend yield, projected to increase from 10% in 2025 to 11.4% by 2027. The company continues to innovate its financial strategies, ensuring robust growth and stability.
