An announcement from Hill & Smith Holdings ( (GB:HILS) ) is now available.
Hill & Smith PLC has continued to execute its £100m share buyback programme, repurchasing 12,420 ordinary shares on 9 February 2026 for cancellation at a volume‑weighted average price of 2,304.4235 pence. Following this latest tranche, the company’s share capital will consist of 79,544,604 ordinary shares, with a total of 1,254,952 shares now cancelled under the programme, incrementally enhancing earnings per share and signalling ongoing confidence in the group’s prospects.
The buyback, carried out via Deutsche Bank AG’s London Branch on the London Stock Exchange, reflects a disciplined approach to capital allocation at a time of robust trading and cash generation. By steadily reducing the number of shares in issue, Hill & Smith is returning surplus capital to shareholders while potentially improving liquidity and supporting valuation metrics, a move likely to be welcomed by investors focused on capital efficiency and shareholder returns.
The most recent analyst rating on (GB:HILS) stock is a Buy with a £2633.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Hill & Smith Holdings stock, see the GB:HILS Stock Forecast page.
