Elementis ( (GB:ELM) ) has issued an update.
Elementis has issued and allotted 3,275,275 ordinary shares of 5p each under its 2018 long-term incentive plan, with the new stock drawn from existing block admissions to trading on the London Stock Exchange. As a result of this issuance, the company’s total issued share capital stands at 572,611,396 ordinary shares as of 30 April 2026, of which 47,532 are held in treasury, a figure investors should use to calculate regulatory disclosure thresholds for their holdings.
The update clarifies the company’s current voting share capital and supports transparency for shareholders monitoring their notifiable interests under FCA rules. By settling LTIP awards through previously admitted shares, Elementis avoids a fresh listing process while modestly increasing its voting share base, a move primarily relevant to governance, employee incentives and institutional investors’ reporting obligations.
The most recent analyst rating on (GB:ELM) stock is a Buy with a £195.00 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.
