FirstGroup Maintains Unchanged Balances in Employee Share Schemes

Firstgroup ( (GB:FGP) ) has provided an announcement.

FirstGroup plc reported its latest six‑monthly block listing return covering the period from 1 October 2025 to 31 March 2026 for its Long Term Incentive Plan, Share Incentive Plan, and Sharesave Plan. The company confirmed that no additional shares were issued or allotted under these employee share schemes during the period, leaving the balances of unallotted securities unchanged, which indicates stability in its share capital related to incentive arrangements.

The unchanged block listing balances suggest that FirstGroup has not recently expanded equity-based employee incentives, which may reflect a steady approach to capital structure and staff remuneration. Investors and other stakeholders can infer that there has been no dilution from these schemes in the period, contributing to visibility over the company’s share count and potential future issuance under existing plans.

The most recent analyst rating on (GB:FGP) stock is a Buy with a £250.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Firstgroup stock, see the GB:FGP Stock Forecast page.
