The latest announcement is out from Liontrust Asset Management ( (GB:LIO) ).
Liontrust Asset Management has continued its previously announced share buyback programme with the purchase of 48,648 ordinary shares on 20 March 2026 at a volume-weighted average price of 247.10 pence. The company intends to cancel these shares, reducing its share count and potentially enhancing earnings per share and capital efficiency for investors.
Following this transaction, Liontrust’s total issued share capital now stands at 61,856,001 ordinary shares, all of which carry voting rights as the company holds no treasury shares. This updated share count becomes the new reference figure for shareholders when assessing disclosure thresholds under the FCA’s transparency rules and may marginally increase existing investors’ proportional ownership.
The most recent analyst rating on (GB:LIO) stock is a Hold with a £251.00 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.
