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.

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.
