An announcement from Jupiter Fund Management Plc ( (GB:JUP) ) is now available.
Jupiter Fund Management plc has launched a new share buyback programme for 2026, authorising the repurchase of ordinary shares up to the lower of £30 million in value or 3% of its issued share capital. The initiative is part of its capital management strategy and is aimed at reducing the company’s share capital by cancelling all shares bought back.
The buyback will run from 8 April 2026 to no later than 8 October 2026 and will be executed on the London Stock Exchange by Deutsche Bank AG, London Branch, under a non-discretionary agreement. Purchases will be made within the limits of the authority granted by shareholders in 2025 and in compliance with UK market abuse and listing regulations, underscoring Jupiter’s adherence to governance standards while returning capital to shareholders.
By structuring the programme so that Deutsche Bank independently executes trades, Jupiter ensures that the buyback can proceed even during closed periods when the company and its directors are restricted from influencing transactions. This approach provides transparency and regulatory comfort to investors, while potentially supporting earnings per share and signalling confidence in the company’s valuation and financial position.
The most recent analyst rating on (GB:JUP) stock is a Buy with a £181.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Jupiter Fund Management Plc stock, see the GB:JUP Stock Forecast page.
Spark’s Take on JUP Stock
According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, JUP is a Outperform.
The score is led by improved financial performance supported by a strong, low-leverage balance sheet, plus an earnings-call outlook showing better flows and investment performance with active capital returns. Valuation is supportive due to the low P/E. These positives are moderated by historically volatile earnings/cash flows, guidance implying fee margin pressure and lumpy performance fees, and only mixed near-term technical signals.
