An update from Hill & Smith Holdings ( (GB:HILS) ) is now available.
Hill & Smith PLC has continued its £100m share buyback programme with the repurchase and cancellation of 7,859 ordinary shares on 23 March 2026, executed via Deutsche Bank AG’s London branch as an on-exchange transaction. The shares were bought at prices between 2,000p and 2,100p, at a volume-weighted average of 2,038.8631p, reducing the company’s shares in issue to 79,204,013.
This latest tranche takes the total repurchased under the programme to 1,626,071 shares, further shrinking the equity base and potentially enhancing earnings per share for remaining investors. The move underscores Hill & Smith’s ongoing capital-return strategy and signals continued management confidence in the company’s valuation and future cash generation capacity.
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.
