Mercia Asset Management Cancels Shares After Latest Buyback on AIM

Mercia Asset Management ( (GB:MERC) ) has issued an update.

Mercia Asset Management has repurchased 48,000 ordinary shares on AIM at 28.15 pence per share as part of its ongoing share buyback programme launched in July 2025. The company intends to cancel these shares, a move that marginally reduces its share capital while potentially enhancing earnings per share and signalling confidence in its valuation.

Following this transaction, Mercia will have 425,617,672 ordinary shares in issue, excluding 11,746,458 shares held in treasury, a figure shareholders can use to assess disclosure thresholds under FCA transparency rules. The buyback activity underscores Mercia’s continued use of capital management tools to optimise its capital structure and may support the share price by reducing the free float 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.
