Liontrust Asset Management ( (GB:LIO) ) has shared an update.
Liontrust Asset Management has repurchased 175,669 of its ordinary shares between 20 and 24 April 2026 under its ongoing share buyback programme, with the shares bought at prices ranging from 262.00p to 275.00p and subsequently cancelled. Following these transactions, Liontrust’s issued share capital stands at 61,369,326 shares, all carrying voting rights, slightly enhancing earnings per share and consolidating ownership for existing shareholders under UK disclosure and transparency rules.
The updated share count provides the new denominator for investors assessing whether they must notify holdings or changes in holdings to the company in line with Financial Conduct Authority requirements. The move signals continued capital management discipline by Liontrust and may be interpreted by the market as confidence in the company’s valuation, while marginally increasing each remaining share’s claim on future profits and distributions.
The most recent analyst rating on (GB:LIO) stock is a Sell with a £235.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Liontrust Asset Management stock, see the GB:LIO Stock Forecast page.
Spark’s Take on LIO Stock
According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, LIO is a Neutral.
Liontrust Asset Management’s overall stock score is driven by its strong valuation metrics, including a low P/E ratio and high dividend yield, which suggest potential undervaluation. However, bearish technical indicators and challenges in financial performance, such as declining revenue and free cash flow, weigh on the score. The company’s strategic corporate actions, like share buybacks, provide some positive outlook but are not included in the weighted calculation.
