Character Group Tightens Free Float with Latest Share Buyback

The latest announcement is out from Character ( (GB:CCT) ).

The Character Group plc has continued its previously announced share buyback programme by repurchasing 6,000 ordinary shares at 250 pence each on 9 February 2026, with the transaction executed via Panmure Liberum on AIMX. The shares were cancelled, leaving 17,628,849 shares in issue excluding treasury stock, a change that slightly concentrates existing shareholders’ stakes and resets the company’s total voting rights denominator for regulatory disclosure purposes.

Following this latest buyback, Character now holds 1,983,059 shares in treasury, reflecting ongoing active capital management that may signal confidence in the company’s valuation and future prospects. The updated share count and voting rights figure will guide investors and institutions in monitoring changes in their holdings relative to disclosure thresholds under U.K. 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.
