Gamma Communications ( (GB:GAMA) ) has provided an announcement.

Gamma Communications has continued to execute its previously announced share buyback programme, repurchasing 22,531 ordinary shares on 16 April at a volume-weighted average price of 889.0450 pence and intending to cancel these shares. Following this latest tranche, Gamma has bought back a total of 1,298,181 shares since the programme began, leaving 90,878,370 voting shares in issue as it remains in an offer period under the UK Takeover Code, a move that tightens its share capital and may influence ownership disclosures and potential corporate activity.

The updated share count, excluding 1,587,800 treasury shares, resets the denominator for major shareholding notification thresholds under the Financial Conduct Authority’s transparency rules. By shrinking its free float during an ongoing offer period, Gamma may be seeking to enhance earnings per share and support its market valuation while simultaneously shaping the dynamics of any prospective bid or strategic transaction.

The most recent analyst rating on (GB:GAMA) stock is a Buy with a £16.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Gamma Communications stock, see the GB:GAMA Stock Forecast page.
