Character ( (GB:CCT) ) just unveiled an update.
The Character Group has repurchased 6,500 ordinary shares at 237 pence each under its previously announced share buyback programme, with all of the acquired shares subsequently cancelled. Following this transaction, the company now holds 1,983,059 shares in treasury and has 17,499,149 shares in issue excluding treasury, which becomes the new figure for total voting rights used by shareholders to assess disclosure obligations under U.K. transparency rules.
The transaction, executed via Panmure Liberum on AIM, is part of Character’s ongoing efforts to manage its share capital and may incrementally enhance earnings per share and capital returns for remaining investors. By reducing the number of voting shares in circulation, the buyback marginally increases existing shareholders’ proportional ownership and clarifies the updated denominator for regulatory reporting of significant shareholdings.
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.
