The latest update is out from Informa ( (GB:INF) ).
Informa PLC has provided an update on its 2026 share buyback programme, which forms part of its broader capital allocation strategy aimed at delivering consistent shareholder returns. The company has committed at least £200m to buybacks this year, underlining management’s focus on capital returns alongside its core B2B events, digital services and academic markets operations.
During the week starting 30 March, Informa repurchased a total of 1,402,981 ordinary shares through Deutsche Bank’s London branch, to be cancelled in full, thereby reducing the share count and potentially enhancing earnings per share. Following settlement of these transactions, Informa’s issued share capital and total voting rights stand at 1,272,821,138 ordinary shares, with no shares held in treasury, and the group plans to continue announcing buyback activity on a weekly basis.
The most recent analyst rating on (GB:INF) stock is a Buy with a £1100.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Informa stock, see the GB:INF Stock Forecast page.
Spark’s Take on INF Stock
According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, INF is a Neutral.
The score is supported by strong cash flow and a constructive earnings-call outlook (raised guidance and additional buybacks). It is held back by a pronounced technical downtrend and an exceptionally high P/E, with added concern from the sharp drop in reported net income and margin compression in 2025.
