The latest update is out from GlobalData ( (GB:DATA) ).
GlobalData reported that all resolutions at its 28 April 2026 annual general meeting were approved, including acceptance of the 2025 financial statements and the declaration of a final dividend of 1.2 pence per share, payable on 1 May 2026. Shareholders also backed the reappointment of Deloitte as auditor, re-elected and elected all proposed directors including new board members Rachel Higham and Toby Walter, and renewed authorities for share issuance, buybacks and shorter notice periods for general meetings, reinforcing the board’s flexibility over capital management and governance.
While most resolutions passed with very high levels of support, votes on the directors’ remuneration report and policy attracted more notable opposition, with around 15–17% of votes cast against these pay-related items. The overall outcome leaves GlobalData with refreshed governance mandates and broad shareholder endorsement for its current strategic and capital allocation framework, though the dissent on remuneration signals some ongoing investor sensitivity around executive pay structures.
The most recent analyst rating on (GB:DATA) stock is a Buy with a £170.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on GlobalData stock, see the GB:DATA Stock Forecast page.
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.
