FTSE 250 movers: Bluefield Solar shines on portfolio buy

(Sharecast News) - FTSE 250: 18,830.08, up 0.36% at 1230 GMT. With the London Stock Exchange closing at 1230 GMT there was a predictably thin day of trade, although the FTSE 350 did finish in the green on the last trading day before Christmas.

There was little corporate news around, but UK renewables income fund Bluefield Solar said it had bought a 46.4 megawatt solar portfolio from North America's Fengate Asset Management. The shares gained 1.1% on the day.

Bluefield said the enterprise value of the portfolio is £56m, including the economic benefit of all cashflows from May 2022. The portfolio contains £27.3m of long-term amortising debt provided by Australian private equity outfit Macquarie.

Auto distributor Inchcape said Peruvian authorities had cleared its planned £1.3bn takeover of Derco, with completion of the deal expected to take place by the end of the year.
