An announcement from Mercia Asset Management ( (GB:MERC) ) is now available.
Mercia Asset Management has repurchased 40,000 ordinary shares on AIM at a price of 27.10 pence per share as part of its ongoing share buyback programme launched in July 2025. The company intends to cancel these shares, reducing the number of ordinary shares in issue to 425,577,672, while holding 11,746,458 shares in treasury, a move that marginally enhances earnings per share and may signal confidence in the company’s valuation to investors.
The updated share capital figure provides a new denominator for shareholders when assessing disclosure thresholds under FCA transparency rules. Mercia has indicated it will continue to report further buyback transactions, underlining an active capital management strategy that could support the share price and adjust the company’s capital structure over time.
The most recent analyst rating on (GB:MERC) stock is a Hold with a £29.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Mercia Asset Management stock, see the GB:MERC Stock Forecast page.
