Liontrust Asset Management ( (GB:LIO) ) has shared an announcement.
Liontrust Asset Management has continued its previously announced share buyback programme with the repurchase of 26,257 ordinary shares on 9 March 2026 at a volume-weighted average price of 248.99 pence. The company stated that all of these shares will be cancelled, reflecting an ongoing effort to manage its capital structure and potentially enhance earnings per share.
Following this latest transaction, Liontrust’s total issued share capital has been reduced to 62,043,382 ordinary shares, all of which carry voting rights as the company holds no shares in treasury. The updated share count provides investors with a new reference point for calculating disclosure thresholds under the UK Financial Conduct Authority’s transparency rules and may marginally increase existing shareholders’ proportional ownership.
The most recent analyst rating on (GB:LIO) stock is a Hold with a £242.00 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.
