The latest announcement is out from Bank of Georgia Group Plc ( (GB:BGEO) ).

Lion Finance Group PLC has repurchased 12,303 of its own ordinary shares on the London Stock Exchange on 12 March 2026 through Cavendish Capital Markets, at a volume-weighted average price of 10,069.7618 pence per share as part of its ongoing share buyback and cancellation programme. The repurchased shares will be held in treasury until their planned cancellation, after which the company’s total voting share count will fall to 43,285,090, marginally increasing existing investors’ proportional ownership and underscoring the group’s continued focus on capital returns to shareholders.

This latest tranche extends a buyback initiative first launched in August 2025 and subsequently expanded twice, signaling management’s confidence in the company’s valuation and long-term prospects in its core Georgian and Armenian banking markets. The transaction, executed via multiple trades throughout the trading day on the London Stock Exchange, contributes to a gradual reduction in free float and may support earnings per share metrics, offering a modest but clear benefit to remaining shareholders.

The most recent analyst rating on (GB:BGEO) stock is a Buy with a £13100.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Bank of Georgia Group Plc stock, see the GB:BGEO Stock Forecast page.
