The latest announcement is out from Hunting ( (GB:HTG) ).
Hunting PLC outlined further steps in its Hunting 2030 Strategy, detailing additional cost reductions and a new share buyback designed to boost profitability and enhance shareholder returns. The company said it has already eliminated about $20 million in costs through restructuring its Hunting Titan and EMEA segments and closing its Fordoun, Aberdeen site by June 2026, and expects an extra $15 million in annual savings by 2028 from shared-service functions and streamlined central costs.
Alongside the efficiency drive, Hunting’s board plans a new $40 million share buyback programme to be executed over two years to March 2028, roughly matching planned dividend payouts. Management framed the move as evidence of confidence in the group’s cash generation and a balanced capital allocation approach, which could strengthen its financial profile and support its long-term growth and returns agenda under the Hunting 2030 Strategy.
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).
