An update from Liontrust Asset Management ( (GB:LIO) ) is now available.
Liontrust Asset Management has continued its previously announced share buyback programme by repurchasing 33,099 ordinary shares on 27 March 2026 at a volume-weighted average price of 241.33 pence, with prices ranging between 238.00 pence and 244.50 pence. The company will cancel these shares, reducing its issued share capital and leaving 61,761,605 shares in issue, which also represents the total number of voting rights now available to shareholders.
The reduction in share count through cancellation is likely to enhance earnings per share over time and signals management’s ongoing commitment to returning capital to investors. The updated share capital figure also provides a new reference point for investors assessing their ownership stakes and regulatory disclosure thresholds under the FCA’s transparency rules.
The most recent analyst rating on (GB:LIO) stock is a Hold with a £249.00 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.
