An announcement from AJ BELL PLC ( (GB:AJB) ) is now available.
AJ Bell has repurchased 100,000 of its ordinary shares on 5 January 2026 through Jefferies International as part of its previously announced £50m share buyback programme, paying a volume-weighted average price of 447.87 pence per share. The company plans to cancel the shares rather than hold them in treasury, reducing the total shares in issue to 400,849,956 and confirming that this new figure represents the total voting rights, a move that marginally enhances earnings per share and slightly increases existing shareholders’ proportional ownership while signalling continued capital-return discipline.
