The latest update is out from AJ BELL PLC ( (GB:AJB) ).
AJ Bell plc has repurchased 100,000 ordinary shares at a volume-weighted average price of 449.46 pence per share as part of its up to £50m share buyback programme launched in December 2025. The company plans to cancel these shares, leaving 398,009,942 ordinary shares in issue and no shares held in treasury, thereby reducing its share capital and marginally increasing existing shareholders’ voting stakes.
The buyback trades were executed through Jefferies International across multiple venues including the London Stock Exchange, Chi-X, BATS, Aquis and Turquoise. The updated share count sets a new denominator for investors’ disclosure calculations under UK transparency rules, and underlines AJ Bell’s ongoing capital management strategy aimed at returning surplus capital to shareholders.
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.
