Elementis ( (GB:ELM) ) just unveiled an announcement.
Elementis has applied for the admission to trading of 2,000,000 new ordinary shares of 5 pence each on the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange, supplementing an existing block admission from March 2025. The shares, to be issued fully paid and ranking pari passu with existing stock, will be allotted periodically under the company’s 2018 Long Term Incentive Plan, underscoring its ongoing use of equity-based incentives to reward and retain key personnel without an immediate public offering.
The block listing allows Elementis to streamline future share issues tied to its LTIP, providing administrative flexibility as awards vest over time. While the move does not by itself signal a change in control or capital-raising transaction, it modestly expands the pool of shares available for incentive awards, with potential long-term dilution for existing shareholders as and when the new shares are allotted.
The most recent analyst rating on (GB:ELM) stock is a Hold with a £149.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Elementis stock, see the GB:ELM Stock Forecast page.
Spark’s Take on ELM Stock
According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, ELM is a Neutral.
The score is mainly supported by improving financial resilience (much lower debt and continued positive free cash flow) and a constructive earnings-call outlook with margin/EPS progress and clear medium-term targets. These positives are tempered by weak technical momentum (below major moving averages with negative MACD) and valuation risk tied to ongoing net losses (negative P/E), alongside recent revenue softness.
