The latest update is out from Character ( (GB:CCT) ).
The Character Group has continued execution of its previously announced share buyback programme, repurchasing 10,000 ordinary shares at a price of 234.5 pence per share and cancelling them immediately. Following this transaction, the company holds 1,983,059 shares in treasury and has 17,489,149 shares in issue, which now represents the total voting rights for regulatory disclosure purposes.
The move marginally reduces the company’s free float and can enhance earnings per share for remaining investors, underlining management’s ongoing focus on capital returns. The updated share count also provides a new reference point for shareholders assessing their notifiable holdings under the FCA’s Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.
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.
