An announcement from Character ( (GB:CCT) ) is now available.
The Character Group plc has continued to execute its previously announced share buyback programme, purchasing 10,000 of its own ordinary shares on 26 March 2026 at a price of 234.1 pence per share. The shares have been cancelled, leaving the company with 17,479,149 shares in issue excluding treasury stock and 1,983,059 shares held in treasury.
The transaction marginally reduces the company’s free float and total voting rights, with 17,479,149 now forming the denominator for regulatory disclosure thresholds under the FCA’s transparency rules. The move underscores Character’s ongoing capital management strategy, which may support earnings per share and signal confidence in the company’s valuation to existing and prospective shareholders.
The most recent analyst rating on (GB:CCT) stock is a Hold with a £244.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Character stock, see the GB:CCT Stock Forecast page.
