LSL Property Services ( (GB:LSL) ) just unveiled an announcement.

LSL Property Services has launched a new share buyback programme of up to £12m following the completion of a previous £7m buyback, underscoring the group’s strong cash generation and capital-light operating model. The company will fund the repurchases from existing cash, positioning buybacks as a key component of shareholder returns alongside twice-yearly dividends, with shares bought back to be held in treasury, reducing voting stock and excluding those shares from dividends. Shore Capital Stockbrokers has been mandated on a non-discretionary, and in certain circumstances irrevocable, basis to manage the programme through open-market purchases until no later than 26 January 2027, operating within prescribed UK market abuse and listing rules even as LSL allows for daily buybacks that may exceed 25% of average trading volume. The move follows the repurchase of 2,610,470 shares, representing about 3% of the current share capital, under the previous programme and comes as LSL seeks renewed shareholder authority to buy back up to 10% of its issued share capital at its 2026 AGM.

The most recent analyst rating on (GB:LSL) stock is a Buy with a £297.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on LSL Property Services stock, see the GB:LSL Stock Forecast page.
