The latest update is out from Jet2 PLC ( (GB:JET2) ).

Jet2 plc has continued executing its up to £100 million share buyback programme, repurchasing 84,793 ordinary shares on 12 February 2026 at a volume-weighted average price of £12.3554. The company plans to cancel these shares, incrementally reducing its share capital as it uses excess capital to return value to shareholders.

The latest tranche of purchases, carried out through Jefferies International across multiple trading venues including AIM and various multilateral trading facilities, underscores ongoing management confidence in Jet2’s financial position. The buyback and planned cancellation marginally enhance earnings per share and signal a shareholder-friendly capital allocation strategy in the leisure travel sector.

Spark’s Take on GB:JET2 Stock

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, GB:JET2 is a Outperform.

Jet2 PLC’s strong financial performance, strategic growth initiatives, and undervaluation relative to peers are significant strengths. The company’s robust earnings call and proactive corporate events, such as the share buyback program, further enhance its investment appeal. However, concerns about cash flow and rising operational costs slightly temper the overall outlook.
