An announcement from AJ BELL PLC ( (GB:AJB) ) is now available.
AJ Bell plc has continued its previously announced share buyback programme of up to £50m, repurchasing 100,000 ordinary shares on 4 March 2026 through Jefferies International at a volume-weighted average price of 446.18 pence. The company plans to cancel these shares, reducing the total number of ordinary shares in issue to 398,109,942, which will become the new total voting rights figure for shareholders’ disclosure calculations under UK regulatory rules.
The latest tranche of buybacks, executed across multiple trading venues including the London Stock Exchange, Chi-X, BATE, Aquis and Turquoise, underscores AJ Bell’s ongoing capital management strategy and signals confidence in its equity valuation. The reduction in share count is expected to be marginally accretive to earnings per share and slightly increase existing investors’ relative ownership stakes, while also clarifying the updated denominator for regulatory stake notifications.
The most recent analyst rating on (GB:AJB) stock is a Buy with a £520.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on AJ BELL PLC stock, see the GB:AJB Stock Forecast page.
