McBride ( (GB:MCB) ) has provided an update.
McBride plc has repurchased 25,000 of its 10 pence ordinary shares on 27 March 2026 at a price of 137.8 pence per share through broker Peel Hunt LLP as part of its ongoing share buyback programme. The company will cancel these shares, a move that marginally reduces its share capital while continuing the capital management strategy disclosed in late 2025 and signalling ongoing confidence in its equity value.
After this transaction and the cancellation of the repurchased shares, McBride will have 175,712,942 ordinary shares in issue, 42,041 ordinary shares held in treasury and 594,610,458 non-voting B Shares outstanding. The total number of voting rights will stand at 175,712,942, a key reference point for investors assessing disclosure thresholds under U.K. transparency rules, while treasury holdings represent just 0.02% of voting rights.

Spark’s Take on MCB Stock
According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, MCB is a Neutral.
The score is led by steady but imperfect financial performance (low net margins, inconsistent revenue, and high leverage offsetting better cash flow), tempered by neutral near-term technical momentum. Valuation is a clear positive with a low P/E and dividend support, and the latest earnings call reinforced a broadly positive outlook with strong cash generation despite manageable SAP and FX-related headwinds.
