Edison Investment Research Updates on PMGR - A Closer Look at Energy Developers

Edison Investment Research Limited has released a new update on Premier Miton Global Renewables Trust (PMGR), focusing on the performance and prospects of its energy developers sector. As of 29 February 2024, the energy developers segment represents 30.2% of PMGR's portfolio. This aspect of PMGR's investment strategy is noted for its potential to yield significantly higher returns compared to other investments within the portfolio, such as yield plays and investment trusts, credited to its high initial capital investment and development risk.

PMGR maintains a diverse investment approach towards renewable energy assets, featuring a wide array of technologies, geographies, and corporate structures. However, the asset values in the renewables sector have recently faced challenges due to increasing bond yields and a decline in forward power price curves, trends that are possibly reaching their culmination.

With bond yields showing signs of nearing their cyclical peak and beginning to drop, PMGR may experience some relief from the pressures of higher discount rates that negatively affected asset valuations in 2023. The trust is positioned well to benefit from a favorable turn in macroeconomic conditions, aiming to accelerate renewable energy production initiatives in 2024. The combination of this economic shift with the strong organic growth and earnings performance expected from its portfolio companies suggests a positive outlook for PMGR in the coming year.
