What Yoda PLC does

Yoda PLC is a Cyprus-domiciled, Cyprus Stock Exchange-listed (CSE: YODA) public investment company founded in 2019 that operates as a multibillion-euro diversified holding group. The company owns and actively manages assets across four verticals: Luxury Hospitality (controlling stake in BX Swiss-listed Ultima Capital SA, operating the Ultima Collection of resorts, residences, chalets and villas across Switzerland, France and the Mediterranean), Real Estate Assets (80+ prime commercial properties across Greece plus offices in Rome and Milan, and the Transamerica Pyramid Center in San Francisco acquired in March 2026), Shipping & Energy (seven container vessels under construction for 2027 delivery under 10-year CMA CGM charters, a joint venture for four LNG vessels, bulk carrier investments managed by Golden Union, and an equity stake in NASDAQ-listed Capital Clean Energy Carriers Corp.), and Technology & Healthcare (venture capital participations in start-ups and funds focused on health, wellness and longevity).

The company generates revenue through long-term contracted cash flows: subscription-style recurring charter income from blue-chip shipping counterparties (CMA CGM, BP Shipping, Cheniere, Nigeria LNG, Tokyo LNG, JERA), long-term commercial lease income from institutional tenants (Greek government, major Greek banks, Google, Italian Ministry of Interior, Webuild, supermarket chains), hospitality operating income from ultra-high-net-worth guests, and investment returns from listed and venture holdings. Its go-to-market is sales-led and partnership-driven, capitalizing on market dislocations and arbitrage opportunities through an experienced team of deal structuring, project management, and strategic planning professionals.

Yoda has funded this expansion through two post-IPO equity raises (approximately €302M in February 2025 and €143M in April 2026), corporate debt facilities (CHF 150M five-year loan at 1.35% fixed; €200M three-year loan at EURIBOR + 1.10%), and a 1.9% strategic stake acquired by Danaos Corporation in April 2026. The company reports Net Zero targets (2030 for core operations, 2050 across the portfolio) and maintains headquarters in Nicosia, Cyprus.
