AJ BELL PLC ( (GB:AJB) ) has issued an announcement.
AJ Bell plc has repurchased 100,000 of its ordinary shares on 7 January 2026 through Jefferies International as part of its previously announced share buyback programme of up to £50m. The shares were bought at prices between 448.60p and 454.80p, with a volume-weighted average price of 452.15p, and will be cancelled rather than held in treasury, reducing the company’s total shares in issue to 400,649,956. The reduction in share count tightens the company’s equity base and alters the total voting rights, giving shareholders a new denominator for regulatory disclosure thresholds under the FCA’s transparency rules, and signalling ongoing capital management aimed at enhancing shareholder value.
The most recent analyst rating on (GB:AJB) stock is a Hold with a £518.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on AJ BELL PLC stock, see the GB:AJB Stock Forecast page.
