Character Group Reduces Share Capital with Further Buyback

Character ( (GB:CCT) ) has shared an update.

The Character Group plc has continued to execute its previously announced share buyback programme, repurchasing 5,000 ordinary shares at 252 pence each on 13 February 2026 through Panmure Liberum. The transaction is part of the company’s capital management strategy and results in the repurchased shares being cancelled, reducing the number of shares in issue and potentially enhancing earnings per share for remaining shareholders.

Following this latest buyback, Character now holds 1,983,059 shares in treasury and has 17,618,849 shares in issue, which represents the current total voting rights in the company. The updated share capital and voting rights structure provides a new reference point for investors’ disclosure calculations under UK regulatory rules and may be seen as a signal of management’s confidence in the group’s valuation and long-term prospects.

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.
