An update from Liontrust Asset Management ( (GB:LIO) ) is now available.

Liontrust Asset Management has continued executing its share buyback programme by repurchasing 26,867 ordinary shares at a volume-weighted average price of 237.50 pence and cancelling them, as part of capital management efforts first outlined in late November 2025. The transaction, conducted across multiple London trading venues, reduces the company’s share count and leaves its total issued share capital at 61,829,134 shares, all carrying voting rights, a change relevant for investors monitoring their disclosure thresholds under FCA rules.

This latest buyback incrementally enhances earnings per share and may signal management’s confidence in Liontrust’s valuation and long-term strategy, potentially supporting shareholder returns. The updated share capital figure also provides a new reference point for institutional and other significant shareholders to assess and report changes in their holdings in line with UK transparency regulations.

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.
