ME Group sets new voting rights total after share buyback

ME Group International ( (GB:MEGP) ) has issued an announcement.

ME Group International has updated the market on its capital structure following recent share buybacks, confirming that as of 31 March 2026 its issued share capital comprises 376,639,419 ordinary shares of 0.5p each, all carrying voting rights. The company, which holds no shares in treasury, said this total should be used by investors to calculate whether they must disclose holdings under UK transparency rules, providing clarity for shareholders after the launch of its buyback programme.

The disclosure follows the launch of ME Group’s share repurchase initiative on 23 March 2026 and effectively resets the denominator for regulatory reporting of significant stakes. By confirming the new voting rights total and emphasising its fully floated share base, the self-service vending specialist is giving investors a clearer view of its free float and governance structure, which may influence institutional reporting obligations and trading strategies around the stock.

The most recent analyst rating on (GB:MEGP) stock is a Hold with a £147.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on ME Group International stock, see the GB:MEGP Stock Forecast page.

Spark’s Take on MEGP Stock

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, MEGP is a Outperform.

The score is supported primarily by strong financial performance (profitability gains and a de-risked balance sheet) and very attractive valuation (low P/E and high dividend yield). These positives are partially offset by weaker technicals (negative MACD and price below longer-term moving averages) and recent free-cash-flow softness.
