Flight Centre Travel Group Limited ( (AU:FLT) ) has issued an update.

Citigroup Global Markets Australia and related Citi group entities have ceased to be substantial shareholders in Flight Centre Travel Group, after a series of transactions on 5 March 2026 altered their relevant interests in the company’s ordinary fully paid shares. The changes stem from securities lending arrangements and ordinary-course stock market trades that shifted holdings among Citi affiliates, reducing Citigroup Global Markets Australia’s stake below the substantial holder threshold and redistributing exposure within the wider Citi group, which may slightly broaden Flight Centre’s shareholder base while leaving control of the company unaffected.

The notice details increases and decreases in relevant interests held by Citibank N.A. Sydney Branch, Citigroup Global Markets Inc and other Citi entities, primarily tied to obligations to return stock under securities lending agreements. While the moves are largely administrative and transactional in nature, they formally remove Citigroup Global Markets Australia from Flight Centre’s register of substantial holders, a development that investors may monitor as part of broader changes in institutional ownership of the travel group’s shares.

The most recent analyst rating on (AU:FLT) stock is a Buy with a A$18.05 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Flight Centre Travel Group Limited stock, see the AU:FLT Stock Forecast page.
