Three attractive income stocks the market has overlooked. Three diverse income stocks for your portfolio, as picked by Thomas Moore and Iain Pyle, co-managers of the Aberdeen Equity Income Trust Published 6 hours ago The three income stocks picked below demonstrate the diversity of opportunities in the Aberdeen Equity Income Trust portfolio and the combination of income and capital growth that MoneyWeek Ltd look for. The trust takes a deliberately index-agnostic approach, searching for companies undergoing change that the market under-appreciates. The idea is simple: the most compelling opportunities are often found in overlooked or under-researched areas. This leads to a portfolio that looks very different from other traditional UK equity income strategies. With no sector constraints and a flexible approach to size, the trust can access a broader universe of income stocks, many offering attractive yields and the prospect of dividend growth. As the businesses gain wider recognition, valuation re-ratings can follow, supporting capital appreciation. With the macro backdrop starting to improve and investor attention moving beyond the FTSE 100, this approach is increasingly relevant. Try 6 free issues of MoneyWeek today.

MoneyWeek Ltd has held Chesnara (LSE: CSN) since 2014, reflecting its long-standing confidence in its business model. It operates as a disciplined acquirer of legacy life insurance assets, completing £440 million of acquisitions over the past five years. As large financial institutions streamline operations and dispose of non-core assets (often at attractive discounts) and private equity focuses elsewhere, Chesnara has carved out a niche by pursuing overlooked deals and refusing to overpay. This disciplined approach has built a strong record of earnings-accretive transactions. At the same time, the steady flow of acquisitions replenishes the book as older policies run off. Scale has increased meaningfully, with assets under administration rising from £8.5 billion to more than £20 billion, alongside expansion into Europe. With more than £100 million of available firepower, management sees further opportunities ahead. Chesnara generates cash through efficient management of existing books and delivers investment returns above the risk-free assumptions embedded in its actuarial models. GTT (Paris: GTT) is a global leader in containment systems for liquefied natural gas (LNG), a market set for structural growth. Demand for LNG is expected to rise by around 60% between 2025 and 2040 as economies transition away from coal, driving the need for additional tanker capacity. GTT's membrane technology is critical to the safe transport of LNG, and decades of research and development have secured it a dominant market position. Barriers to entry are high, with shipowners and insurers reluctant to risk unproven suppliers, thus supporting pricing power and consistently high margins. Core growth should benefit from increasingly global LNG flows and a replacement cycle for an ageing tanker fleet. GTT is also building a digital services platform, with technology already installed on more than 15,000 vessels. This creates a valuable opportunity to cross-sell software and consulting services - an area that remains under-monetised, but offers high returns. A new CEO may accelerate this focus, while robust cash generation underpins both dividends and reinvestment. The sharp correction in software stocks in early 2026 created an opening for investors hunting for income. UK IT reseller Softcat (LSE: SCT) plays a key role in connecting businesses with complex IT, partnering with more than 200 global technology providers. It has delivered consistent organic growth, expanding market share and securing a highly loyal customer base - 95% of revenues come from repeat business. The rapid adoption of AI is driving demand for processing power, storage, networking and security infrastructure - areas where Softcat is well positioned. This structural tailwind is expected to support continued earnings growth for the business, resulting in rising dividends. This article was first published in MoneyWeek's magazine.

GTT will drive an FLNG unit and six new LNG vessels with cryogenic technology. Gaztransport & Technigaz (GTT) will design the storage systems with cryogenic technology for the Delfin FLNG unit and six new LNG vessels. Gaztransport & Technigaz (GTT) announced the award of new orders for the design of cryogenic tanks for an FLNG unit and six LNG carriers to be built in South Korea and China. The contracts cover a floating LNG production facility and six large-capacity vessels, all equipped with the Mark III Flex membrane containment system. The project portfolio comprises two 174,000 m^3 vessels, four 175,000 m^3 vessels, and the Delfin FLNG 1 unit, which will have 180,000 m^3 of LNG storage capacity. This expansion reflects growing investment in infrastructure for liquefaction, storage, and maritime transport of liquefied natural gas. Delfin FLNG will mark a milestone for LNG in the United States. One of the most significant contracts corresponds to Delfin FLNG 1, whose cryogenic tank engineering was commissioned by Samsung Heavy Industries for the Delfin LNG project, located off the coast of Louisiana. According to GTT, the facility will be the first floating liquefaction unit (FLNG) to enter operation in the United States and the largest in the world by planned production capacity, with 4.4 million tons of LNG per year (MTPA). Delivery is scheduled for mid-2030. The unit will feature eight cryogenic tanks, arranged in two rows, with a total capacity of 180,000 m^3 of LNG storage, all equipped with the Mark III Flex system. Six new vessels will expand LNG transport capacity. In addition to the FLNG project, GTT will design the containment systems for two new 174,000 m^3 LNG carriers, built by HD Hyundai Heavy Industries following an order placed by HD Korea Shipbuilding & Offshore Engineering (HD KSOE). The vessels will incorporate Mark III Flex technology and their delivery is scheduled for the first quarter of 2029. These are joined by four new 175,000 m^3 LNG carriers to be built by Jiangnan Shipyard for COSCO Shipping Energy. Deliveries are scheduled between the third quarter of 2029 and the third quarter of 2030. Cryogenic technology will be critical for reliability. Cryogenic containment systems represent one of the most critical components of LNG infrastructure. Their function is to maintain liquefied natural gas at temperatures close to -163°C, minimizing heat transfer and ensuring leak-tightness throughout the asset's operational life. In the case of Delfin FLNG 1, GTT emphasized that the Mark III Flex system was developed to respond to demanding maritime and offshore conditions, including operations in regions exposed to hurricanes. These characteristics enable improved reliability and safety of facilities subjected to high mechanical and environmental loads. From a mechanical integrity perspective, these systems will require strict inspection programs, fabrication control, structural monitoring, and maintenance to preserve the performance of membranes, thermal insulation, and joints during decades of operation. LNG infrastructure continues to expand. The new contracts obtained by GTT demonstrate the sustained growth of global infrastructure for liquefied natural gas. The incorporation of new FLNG units and LNG carriers will expand the production and transport capacity needed to supply markets with constantly increasing energy demand. For the offshore industry, these projects also represent new opportunities for manufacturers, shipyards, inspection companies, non-destructive testing providers, and asset integrity specialists who will participate in the life cycle of these strategic facilities.
