The latest announcement is out from Currys plc ( (GB:CURY) ).

Currys plc has continued to execute its previously announced share buy-back programme, repurchasing 200,000 ordinary shares on 17 February 2026 at prices between 152.71p and 153.30p per share, with an average purchase price around 152.72p. The shares, acquired via Panmure Liberum across several trading venues, will be cancelled, reducing the company’s share count to 1,108,237,505 and slightly increasing existing investors’ proportional voting rights.

The cancellation of these shares marginally enhances earnings per share and voting power for remaining shareholders, underlining Currys’ ongoing use of capital returns alongside its operational strategy. The updated total voting rights figure also provides a fresh reference point for investors assessing disclosure thresholds under U.K. market transparency rules, reinforcing compliance and clarity around significant shareholdings.

Spark’s Take on GB:CURY Stock

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, GB:CURY is a Outperform.

The score is driven primarily by improving financial performance (better growth, reduced leverage, and strong free cash flow), supported by a low P/E valuation. Technicals are positive due to a strong uptrend, but elevated RSI/Stoch levels indicate momentum is stretched, tempering the overall rating.
