Liontrust Asset Management ( (GB:LIO) ) just unveiled an announcement.
Liontrust Asset Management has continued to execute its previously announced share buyback programme, repurchasing 24,456 ordinary shares on 6 February 2026 at a volume-weighted average price of 234.47 pence. The company will cancel these shares, reducing its total issued share capital to 62,378,352 shares, which also becomes the new figure for calculating voting rights and regulatory disclosure thresholds for shareholders.
The cancellation of the repurchased shares marginally enhances the ownership percentage of remaining investors and may be interpreted as a signal of management’s confidence in the company’s valuation. The updated share count has implications for institutional and other large shareholders who must use the new denominator when assessing and reporting changes in their holdings under FCA transparency rules.
The most recent analyst rating on (GB:LIO) stock is a Hold with a £244.00 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 GB:LIO Stock
According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, GB: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.
