ICG plc has repurchased 788,362 ordinary shares between 16 and 20 March 2026 under its ongoing buyback programme executed through Merrill Lynch International on the London Stock Exchange.

Following these purchases, ICG now has 288,170,995 ordinary shares in issue excluding treasury, 6,202,629 ordinary shares held in treasury and 1,680,934 ordinary non-voting shares, underlining the company’s use of capital management to support strategic distribution alliances while protecting existing shareholders’ interests.

Spark’s Take on ICG Stock
According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, ICG is a Neutral.
The score is anchored by solid underlying financial results and a constructive earnings-call outlook, supported by an attractive P/E and dividend yield. These positives are meaningfully offset by weak technicals (price below key moving averages and strongly negative momentum) and cash flow deterioration highlighted in the financial statement analysis.
