Mercia Asset Management Completes £3m Share Buyback and Updates Share Capital

The latest update is out from Mercia Asset Management ( (GB:MERC) ).

Mercia Asset Management has repurchased 26,649 of its own ordinary shares on AIM at 27.50 pence each as part of its previously announced share buyback programme and intends to cancel these shares. Following this transaction, the company will have 424,951,211 ordinary shares in issue excluding treasury shares, will hold 11,746,458 shares in treasury, and has now completed its £3.0 million buyback for the financial year ended 31 March 2026.

The updated share count provides a new reference point for investors assessing their disclosure thresholds under FCA transparency rules, and the conclusion of the buyback may influence liquidity and earnings per share dynamics. By reducing the number of shares in issue while retaining a significant treasury position, Mercia is signalling continued active capital management, which may affect shareholder valuations and market perception of the stock.
