Mercia Asset Management ( (GB:MERC) ) just unveiled an update.
Mercia Asset Management has repurchased 60,000 of its own ordinary shares on AIM at a price of 28.70 pence per share as part of its ongoing share buyback programme launched in July 2025. The company plans to cancel these shares, leaving 425,795,672 ordinary shares in issue, a move that marginally reduces the share count and may enhance earnings per share while updating the base for regulatory disclosure thresholds.
Following this transaction, Mercia now holds 11,746,458 ordinary shares in treasury, with the revised issued share capital figure serving as the new denominator for shareholders’ notification obligations under U.K. transparency rules. The group signalled that further buyback activity may follow, indicating continued use of capital management measures that could influence liquidity in the stock and 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.
