Mitie Cancels 400,000 Shares in Ongoing Buyback Programme

An update from Mitie Group plc ( (GB:MTO) ) is now available.

Mitie Group plc has repurchased 400,000 of its own ordinary shares on 18 March 2026, at a volume-weighted average price of 176.85p, as part of an ongoing share buyback programme initiated in October 2025. The company intends to cancel these shares, reducing the number of shares in circulation and leaving 1,316,075,893 ordinary shares in issue, excluding shares held in treasury.

The cancellation of the repurchased stock will slightly concentrate existing shareholders’ voting rights and may provide modest earnings-per-share support, underlining Mitie’s continued capital-return strategy. Executed via broker Peel Hunt on the London Stock Exchange, the transaction reflects ongoing management confidence and disciplined balance sheet deployment in line with its buyback commitments.

The most recent analyst rating on (GB:MTO) stock is a Buy with a £194.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Mitie Group plc stock, see the GB:MTO Stock Forecast page.
