Barclays says there are "attractive" implied portfolio returns on offer at NextEnergy Solar Fund Ltd (LSE:NESF) and Bluefield Solar Income Fund (LSE:BSIF).
The solar-focused investment trusts this past week both lowered their discount rates by 75 basis points, which impacted their net asset values by around 4% apiece.
But with the sector shares having de-rated, analyst Conor Finn said, "we think implied returns are relatively attractive for predominantly operational UK portfolios.
"We accept that the catalyst for a re-rating is largely dependent on rates (and NESF may also benefit from its planned disposal programme), but we believe current share prices are pricing in attractive returns."
At the current discounts of 20.5% for BSIF and 16.1% for NESF, the share price implied portfolio returns are circa 12% for BSIF and 11% for NESF.
