GlobalData ( (GB:DATA) ) just unveiled an announcement.
GlobalData has continued to execute its previously announced share buyback programme, repurchasing a series of tranches of ordinary shares between 23 April and 29 April 2026 through Investec Bank. The shares were bought on the London Stock Exchange at volume-weighted average prices ranging from just over 100p to more than 108p and will be cancelled rather than held in treasury.
Following these latest transactions, GlobalData’s total number of ordinary shares in issue will be reduced to 756,501,995, with the group holding no shares in treasury. The revised share capital and voting rights position provides an updated denominator for investors monitoring disclosure thresholds under U.K. transparency rules and reflects an ongoing effort to manage the company’s capital structure.

Spark’s Take on DATA Stock
According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, DATA is a Neutral.
The score is primarily supported by steady growth and reliable cash generation, but is held back by increased balance-sheet risk from higher debt and reduced equity. Technicals indicate strong recent momentum but with overbought conditions and a price still below the 200-day average, and valuation looks only fair with a mid-20s P/E and modest yield.
