Mercia Asset Management ( (GB:MERC) ) has provided an announcement.
Mercia Asset Management has continued its share buyback programme with the purchase of 65,000 ordinary shares on 10 March 2026 at a price of 27.50 pence per share on AIM. The company plans to cancel these shares, leaving 425,512,672 ordinary shares in issue and 11,746,458 held in treasury, a move that marginally reduces the free float and may enhance earnings per share while updating the denominator for regulatory shareholding disclosures.
Following this latest transaction, Mercia has clarified that the new share count should be used by investors to assess whether they must notify changes in their holdings under UK disclosure rules. The ongoing buyback activity signals continued capital management efforts by the group and may be interpreted by shareholders as an indication of confidence in the company’s valuation and long-term strategy, pending further buyback announcements in due course.
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.
