AJ BELL PLC ( (GB:AJB) ) just unveiled an update.
AJ Bell plc has executed a further tranche of its up to £50 million share buyback programme, repurchasing 100,000 ordinary shares on 3 March 2026 at a volume-weighted average price of 437.02 pence. The transaction, carried out through Jefferies International across multiple trading venues, saw prices range between 432.40 pence and 444.00 pence per share.
The company will cancel all of the repurchased shares rather than holding them in treasury, reducing its total shares in issue to 398,209,942 and leaving no treasury shares outstanding. This cancellation decreases the number of voting rights, affecting ownership percentage calculations for investors under FCA disclosure rules and modestly enhancing earnings and net asset value per share for remaining 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.
