Just found this on DividendMax. It looks like a great company in the renewables sector. I especially like the dividends increasing with RPI. Any excess funds are then ploughed back into investments to grow the business.

Are these on :freetrade:? I canā€™t find them?

I canā€™t find either and Iā€™m not locked to an isa

Iā€™ll change it.

They are not yet on FreeTradeā˜¹ļø

An aside roughly half the debt is fixed at 4.75%.
I wonder if a RCF will be available in the next 5 years that low.
IE 3% base rates plus 1.5% extra. You would have to be very low risk to get it as low at 1.5% for the extra.

Reference the 4.75% preference shares, I couldnā€™t find them on Hargreaves Lansdowne. So asked them if they were available, assuming the person I contacted was competent they said they couldnā€™t find them.
This implies they were never listed and were sold directly to institutes.

Good chance of nextenergy falling out of the FTSE 250 index.
May explain share price weakness.
Probably but not a certainty it could fall further if it does
