An announcement from Future plc ( (GB:FUTR) ) is now available.
Future plc has continued its share buyback programme, repurchasing 23,292 ordinary shares on 13 February 2026 at prices between 414.8p and 423.8p, with an average price of 418.97p, through ABN AMRO Bank. The company intends to cancel these shares, bringing total repurchases since 15 December 2025 to 1,005,190 shares at a cost of about £5.16 million and leaving 94,584,482 shares in issue, a move that marginally increases earnings per share and signals ongoing capital return to investors.
The cancellation of the repurchased stock reduces Future’s share count and slightly enhances per-share metrics, providing incremental support to the share price and underlining management’s confidence in the business. With no shares held in treasury following this latest transaction, the company maintains a lean equity base while demonstrating continued adherence to its listed-company governance and buyback disclosure obligations.
The most recent analyst rating on (GB:FUTR) stock is a Hold with a £436.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Future plc stock, see the GB:FUTR Stock Forecast page.
