IG Group Holdings ( (GB:IGG) ) just unveiled an update.
IG Group Holdings has continued its share buyback programme, repurchasing 125,694 ordinary shares on 4 March 2026 from Morgan Stanley & Co. International at prices between 1,314.00p and 1,348.00p, with a volume-weighted average of 1,327.30p. The company will hold these shares in treasury, bringing its treasury stock to 27,035,246 shares and leaving 334,522,622 shares in issue, which effectively reduces free float and can enhance earnings per share for remaining shareholders.
Since the start of the current buyback instructions in September 2025, IG Group has acquired a total of 13,933,009 shares at a cost of £168.1 million, signalling ongoing capital returns and balance-sheet confidence. The sustained pace of repurchases underscores management’s commitment to shareholder value and may support the share price, while maintaining flexibility by keeping the shares in treasury rather than cancelling them outright.
The most recent analyst rating on (GB:IGG) stock is a Hold with a £1473.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on IG Group Holdings stock, see the GB:IGG Stock Forecast page.
