The latest announcement is out from Hill & Smith Holdings ( (GB:HILS) ).
Hill & Smith PLC has continued to execute its previously announced £100m share buyback programme, purchasing 3,284 ordinary shares on 14 April 2026 via Deutsche Bank AG’s London branch and cancelling them. The transaction, completed on the London Stock Exchange at prices between 2,355p and 2,365p per share and an average of 2,360.3304p, reduces the company’s total shares in issue to 79,046,467, with 1,794,541 shares now cancelled under the programme.
By further shrinking its share count, Hill & Smith is incrementally enhancing earnings per share and signalling confidence in its balance sheet and long-term prospects. The ongoing buyback is also likely to support the share price and capital-return profile, underlining management’s commitment to shareholder value while maintaining a disciplined approach to capital allocation.
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.
