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

Currys plc has continued to execute its previously announced share buy-back programme, repurchasing 1,399,612 ordinary shares on 30 March 2026 at prices between 118.10p and 120.00p, with an average price of 119.34p, via broker Panmure Liberum. Following cancellation of these shares, the company’s issued share capital will stand at 1,099,269,065 ordinary shares, which also represents the total voting rights that investors must now use when calculating disclosure thresholds under U.K. transparency rules.

The transaction slightly reduces Currys’ share count and may provide marginal earnings-per-share accretion, signalling ongoing capital management and a willingness to return excess cash to shareholders. The updated voting-rights figure also has practical implications for institutional investors and other significant holders, who must recalibrate any regulatory notifications of their holdings in line with the new denominator.

The most recent analyst rating on (GB:CURY) stock is a Buy with a £133.00 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 CURY Stock

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, 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.
