Currys plc ( (GB:CURY) ) has provided an announcement.

Currys plc has continued to execute its share buy-back programme authorised at its September 2025 AGM, repurchasing 168,825 ordinary shares on 18 February 2026 through Panmure Liberum at an average price of 154.67 pence. The shares will be cancelled, reducing the number of shares in issue to 1,108,068,680 and setting this figure as the new total voting rights denominator for shareholders assessing disclosure obligations under UK transparency rules.

The latest repurchase incrementally enhances earnings per share by shrinking the equity base and signals ongoing capital returns to investors within the existing buy-back mandate. For shareholders and market participants, the updated voting rights total is relevant for monitoring holdings thresholds and regulatory notifications, but the transaction does not alter Currys’ operational footprint or strategic positioning in the electrical retail market.

The most recent analyst rating on (GB:CURY) stock is a Buy with a £155.00 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.
