Hunting ( (GB:HTG) ) just unveiled an update.
Hunting PLC has repurchased 107,037 of its ordinary shares under its previously announced buyback programme, paying a volume-weighted average price of 473.04 pence per share through Berenberg on the London Stock Exchange. The company plans to cancel these shares, reducing its share capital and leaving 155,244,144 ordinary shares in issue, which will also become the new total number of voting rights for regulatory disclosure calculations.
The cancellation of the repurchased stock slightly concentrates existing investors’ ownership stakes and may signal continued confidence from the board in Hunting’s valuation and cash-generation capacity. The updated voting rights figure provides a fresh denominator for shareholders and other market participants when assessing disclosure thresholds under UK transparency rules.
The most recent analyst rating on (GB:HTG) stock is a Hold with a £483.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Hunting stock, see the GB:HTG Stock Forecast page.
Spark’s Take on GB:HTG Stock
According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, GB:HTG is a Neutral.
The score is primarily supported by strong 2024 cash flow and a low-leverage balance sheet, plus shareholder-friendly corporate actions (expanded buybacks) and positive strategic developments. Offsetting these strengths are volatile profitability (2024 loss after 2023 profit) and currently soft technical momentum (negative MACD, RSI below 50).
