Currys plc ( (GB:CURY) ) just unveiled an announcement.

Currys plc has continued to execute its previously announced share buy-back programme, repurchasing 347,093 ordinary shares on 9 March 2026 at an average price of 142.28 pence per share for cancellation. The transaction, carried out through broker Panmure Liberum, reduces the company’s shares in issue to 1,105,357,669, marginally enhancing earnings per share and slightly increasing existing shareholders’ voting stakes as the total voting rights adjust accordingly.

The latest tranche of buy-backs underscores management’s ongoing use of surplus capital to return value to investors and signals confidence in the company’s financial position. For shareholders, the revised share count becomes the new reference point for calculating disclosure thresholds under U.K. transparency rules, while the continued reduction in equity base may support valuation metrics over time.

The most recent analyst rating on (GB:CURY) stock is a Buy with a £179.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Currys plc stock, see the GB:CURY Stock Forecast page.

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.
