An announcement from Liontrust Asset Management ( (GB:LIO) ) is now available.
Liontrust Asset Management has continued executing its previously announced share buyback programme, repurchasing 35,000 ordinary shares on 13 March 2026 at a volume-weighted average price of 246.85 pence per share, with the shares to be cancelled. Following this transaction, Liontrust’s issued share capital stands at 61,943,418 shares in issue, all carrying voting rights, a change that may affect shareholder notification thresholds under UK disclosure rules and signals ongoing capital management by the group.
The cancellation of the repurchased shares marginally reduces the company’s share count, which can be supportive of earnings per share and indicates management’s willingness to return capital to shareholders. The updated share capital figure provides investors and regulators with a new denominator for calculating ownership stakes and disclosure obligations, reinforcing transparency in Liontrust’s market reporting.
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 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.
