Hill & Smith Holdings ( (GB:HILS) ) has shared an update.
Hill & Smith PLC has cancelled 22,000 ordinary shares, purchased on 11 May 2026 from Deutsche Bank AG’s London branch, as part of its ongoing £100 million share buyback programme launched in August 2025. The shares were acquired via on-exchange transactions on the London Stock Exchange at a volume-weighted average price of 2,562.8152 pence, reducing the company’s total shares in issue to 78,892,674 and bringing total buybacks under the programme to 1,965,671 shares.
The latest repurchase further shrinks Hill & Smith’s share capital base, signalling continued management commitment to returning capital to shareholders through buybacks. By tightening the share count under a sizeable, long-term buyback mandate, the company potentially enhances earnings per share and underpins investor confidence in its balance sheet strength and future cash generation.
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.
