Hill & Smith Holdings ( (GB:HILS) ) has issued an announcement.
Hill & Smith has continued to execute its previously announced £100m share buyback, repurchasing 15,000 ordinary shares for cancellation on 31 March 2026 through Deutsche Bank’s London branch at a volume‑weighted average price of 2,106.5673 pence. Following this latest transaction, the company’s share count will fall to 79,111,363 ordinary shares in issue, with 1,723,071 shares now cancelled under the programme, modestly enhancing earnings per share and signalling ongoing management confidence in the group’s valuation and cash generation.
The buyback was carried out as an on‑exchange transaction on the London Stock Exchange’s XLON venue, with prices ranging between 2,085.00 and 2,110.00 pence during the trading day. The steady progress of the repurchase plan is likely to be welcomed by shareholders seeking capital returns alongside potential support for the company’s share price, while modestly increasing remaining investors’ proportional ownership over time.
The most recent analyst rating on (GB:HILS) stock is a Buy with a £2760.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Hill & Smith Holdings stock, see the GB:HILS Stock Forecast page.
Spark’s Take on HILS Stock
According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, HILS is a Outperform.
The score is driven primarily by strong financial performance, led by improved profitability and a healthier leverage profile, partially offset by volatility in cash flow. Technical indicators are mixed-to-weak in the near term (negative MACD, RSI below neutral, and price below short-term moving averages). Valuation appears reasonable rather than clearly cheap, supported by a moderate dividend yield.
