McBride ( (GB:MCB) ) just unveiled an update.
McBride plc has executed another tranche of its share buyback, repurchasing 52,044 ordinary shares on 13 March 2026 via broker Peel Hunt at a volume-weighted average price of 141.39 pence, with the shares to be cancelled. The move, part of an existing non-discretionary buyback programme, will reduce the company’s voting share capital to 176,300,643 ordinary shares, marginally increasing earnings per share and adjusting voting-rights calculations for investors under UK disclosure rules.
Following the cancellation, McBride will continue to hold a small balance of 42,041 ordinary shares in treasury and 594,610,458 non-voting B shares in issue, leaving the treasury stake at just 0.02% of voting rights. The transaction underscores ongoing capital-management efforts, signalling confidence in the company’s valuation while having limited immediate impact on control dynamics but affecting how shareholders track and report changes in their holdings.
The most recent analyst rating on (GB:MCB) stock is a Hold with a £165.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on McBride stock, see the GB:MCB Stock Forecast page.
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.
