Jet2 PLC ( (GB:JET2) ) has issued an announcement.

Jet2 plc has repurchased 49,972 ordinary shares at a volume-weighted average price of about £13.12 per share on 20 February 2026, under its previously announced share buyback programme of up to £100 million. The shares, acquired via Jefferies International across multiple trading venues, are intended to be cancelled, signalling ongoing capital return to shareholders and a tighter share count that may enhance earnings per share over time.

The latest transaction underscores Jet2’s continued use of buybacks as part of its capital allocation strategy, following shareholder authority granted at its 2025 annual meeting. By reducing the number of shares in issue, the company may improve per-share metrics and support its market valuation, which is of note to existing investors and prospective shareholders tracking its financial policies.

The most recent analyst rating on (GB:JET2) stock is a Buy with a £1371.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Jet2 PLC stock, see the GB:JET2 Stock Forecast page.

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.
