AJ BELL PLC ( (GB:AJB) ) just unveiled an update.
AJ Bell plc has continued executing its previously announced share buyback programme of up to £50m, repurchasing 50,000 ordinary shares on 26 February 2026 through Jefferies International at a volume-weighted average price of 432.74p. The company plans to cancel these shares, reducing the total number of shares in issue to 398,409,942 and leaving no shares held in treasury.
The reduced share count effectively concentrates ownership among remaining investors and may enhance per-share metrics such as earnings and dividends, signalling ongoing capital-return discipline by the board. The updated figure for voting rights also provides a new reference point for shareholders assessing disclosure thresholds under UK Financial Conduct Authority transparency rules.
The most recent analyst rating on (GB:AJB) stock is a Hold with a £490.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on AJ BELL PLC stock, see the GB:AJB Stock Forecast page.
