Character ( (GB:CCT) ) has shared an update.
The Character Group plc has continued to execute its previously announced share buyback programme by purchasing 7,500 ordinary shares at a price of 239 pence per share through Panmure Liberum. The bought-back shares have been cancelled, leaving the company with 17,513,149 shares in issue excluding treasury shares, a figure that will now serve as the denominator for shareholders’ voting-rights and disclosure calculations under FCA transparency rules.
This reduction in the number of shares in issue marginally concentrates existing investors’ holdings and can support earnings per share over time, underscoring management’s ongoing capital-return strategy. The transaction also signals continued confidence from the board in the company’s financial position and may help underpin the stock’s valuation in the AIM market.
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.
