Mercia Asset Management ( (GB:MERC) ) just unveiled an announcement.
Mercia Asset Management has repurchased 50,000 ordinary shares on the London Stock Exchange at 28.50 pence per share as part of its ongoing share buyback programme launched in July 2025. The company plans to cancel these shares, which will reduce the number of ordinary shares in issue admitted to trading on AIM to 426,000,672, while it continues to hold 11,746,458 shares in treasury, marginally enhancing earnings per share and adjusting the free float for existing shareholders.
The updated share count provides a new reference point for investors assessing disclosure thresholds under the FCA’s transparency rules and may slightly improve capital efficiency and shareholder returns. Mercia has indicated that further announcements will follow as additional purchases are made under the buyback, signalling continued active capital management and potential ongoing support for the share price in the market.
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.
