An update from Character ( (GB:CCT) ) is now available.
The Character Group plc has continued to execute its recently announced share buyback programme, repurchasing 5,000 ordinary shares at 252.5 pence each on 12 February 2026 via Panmure Liberum. The repurchased shares have been cancelled, leaving 17,623,849 shares in issue excluding treasury and 1,983,059 shares held in treasury, a change that slightly consolidates the company’s equity base and resets the total voting rights for shareholders’ transparency calculations.
This transaction marginally enhances earnings per share and may signal management’s confidence in the company’s valuation, as it returns capital to shareholders through buybacks rather than dividends or reinvestment. The updated share capital and voting rights figure provides investors and regulators with a clear denominator for disclosure thresholds, supporting compliance with the FCA’s transparency rules and maintaining orderly trading in the company’s shares on AIM.
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.

The overall stock score reflects significant financial challenges, including declining revenue and profitability, and weak cash flow generation.

Despite a high dividend yield, the negative P/E ratio highlights profitability concerns, making the stock less attractive to growth-focused investors.
