Hunting ( (GB:HTG) ) has provided an announcement.
Hunting PLC has repurchased 62,720 of its own ordinary shares on 16 February 2026 under its previously announced buyback programme, at a volume-weighted average price of 497.24 pence, through Berenberg on the London Stock Exchange. The company plans to cancel these shares, reducing the number of shares and voting rights in issue to 154,949,165, a move that tightens its share capital base and may enhance earnings per share for remaining shareholders.

By continuing to execute its buyback and retire shares, Hunting signals confidence in its balance sheet and returns surplus capital to shareholders while potentially supporting its share price in the market.

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).
