Barratt Redrow ( (GB:BTRW) ) has issued an update.

Barratt Redrow plc has continued to execute its previously announced £50 million share repurchase programme, buying back 150,000 ordinary shares on 26 February 2026 from UBS AG London Branch via on-exchange transactions on the London Stock Exchange. The shares, acquired at a volume-weighted average price of 371.1859 pence, have been cancelled, bringing total buybacks under the programme to 5,450,000 shares and leaving 1,421,176,582 ordinary shares in issue, which reduces the share count and marginally enhances earnings per share and voting power for remaining investors.

The company confirmed it holds no shares in treasury following this latest cancellation, meaning all outstanding shares now carry voting rights, which can slightly increase the influence of existing shareholders. The continued pace of repurchases underlines management’s ongoing capital return strategy and signals confidence in the group’s balance sheet and long-term prospects despite a challenging U.K. housing market backdrop.

The most recent analyst rating on (GB:BTRW) stock is a Buy with a £4.90 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Barratt Redrow stock, see the GB:BTRW Stock Forecast page.
