Mercia Asset Management Continues Capital Return with New Share Buyback

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

Mercia Asset Management has repurchased 50,000 ordinary shares at 28.50 pence each on AIM as part of its ongoing share buyback programme launched in July 2025, and intends to cancel these shares. Following this transaction, Mercia will have 426,050,672 ordinary shares in issue, excluding 11,746,458 shares held in treasury, a move that marginally enhances earnings per share and may signal confidence in the company’s valuation to shareholders.

The updated share count provides investors with a new reference point for calculating disclosure thresholds under the FCA’s Transparency Rules. By continuing to execute on its buyback, Mercia is actively managing its capital structure, which could support the share price and reflect a disciplined approach to returning capital to shareholders 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.
