An update from Character ( (GB:CCT) ) is now available.
The Character Group has continued executing its recently announced share buyback programme, repurchasing 5,200 ordinary shares at 248 pence each on 20 February 2026 through Panmure Liberum. The repurchased shares have been cancelled, leaving the company with 17,601,949 shares in issue excluding 1,983,059 shares held in treasury, and resetting the total voting rights denominator for regulatory disclosure purposes.
This latest transaction further reduces the company’s free float and may modestly enhance earnings per share, underlining management’s ongoing focus on capital returns and balance sheet efficiency. The updated share capital structure and clarified voting rights figure will be relevant for institutional and other shareholders tracking their holdings against disclosure thresholds under the FCA’s 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.
