Duke Capital Limited (LSE:DUKE) has made an additional £2.0 million investment in Tristone Healthcare Limited to facilitate its acquisition of Serenity Care Homes Limited, a provider of therapeutic care for young people. With this latest funding, Duke’s total credit investment in Tristone rises to £21.2 million, and its equity stake increases to 28.4%.
The acquisition will allow Tristone to expand its specialist care services for young adults with complex needs across the South of England. It also strengthens the company’s position in the social care sector and enhances its network of regional partnerships. Serenity Care Homes adds to Tristone’s growing platform, which now employs more than 800 staff and is recognized for delivering high-quality, person-centered care.
This transaction reflects Duke Capital’s strategic focus on supporting long-term value creation through its hybrid capital model. The company continues to pursue investments that combine income generation with capital growth potential. While Duke benefits from robust financial fundamentals and an appealing dividend yield, bearish technical indicators suggest the stock may face short-term market resistance. Nevertheless, its proactive deal-making and focus on capital preservation position it well for future upside.
