The latest update is out from Future plc ( (GB:FUTR) ).
Future plc has continued its share buyback activity, purchasing 22,798 ordinary shares on 12 February 2026 via ABN AMRO Bank at an average price of 433.0220 pence, with the shares to be cancelled. The move forms part of a broader programme under which the company has acquired 981,898 shares since 15 December 2025 for just over £5 million, reducing the share count to 94,607,774 and potentially enhancing earnings per share and capital return for investors.
By cancelling the repurchased shares and holding none in treasury, Future plc is tightening its free float while signalling confidence in its valuation and future cash generation. The ongoing buyback may support the share price and underscores management’s commitment to shareholder returns at a time when media groups are increasingly using balance-sheet flexibility to offset market volatility and digital transition pressures.
