An update from Grafton ( (GB:GFTU) ) is now available.
Grafton Group has continued execution of its previously announced £25 million share buyback, repurchasing 75,000 ordinary shares on 24 April 2026 on the London Stock Exchange at a volume-weighted average price of £9.0921 per share. The shares bought from Deutsche Bank AG, London Branch, will be cancelled, with the company having now acquired a total of 2,125,970 shares for cancellation since the programme began on 5 March 2026.
The ongoing buyback reduces Grafton’s share count and signals continued capital returns to shareholders, which may enhance earnings per share and support the share price over time. The detailed disclosure of trade data aligns with market abuse regulations, reinforcing transparency for investors and other market participants about the scale and pricing of the company’s repurchase activity.
The most recent analyst rating on (GB:GFTU) stock is a Buy with a £1170.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Grafton stock, see the GB:GFTU Stock Forecast page.
Spark’s Take on GFTU Stock
According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, GFTU is a Neutral.
The score is driven primarily by solid underlying financial quality (strong cash conversion and a conservative balance sheet) and supportive valuation (moderate P/E with a ~4% yield). These positives are partly offset by weaker technicals (price below key moving averages and negative MACD) and guidance indicating a slow early-2026 trading environment with persistent cost inflation and regional softness.
