The latest update is out from NCC Group plc ( (GB:NCC) ).
NCC Group plc has continued its previously announced share buyback programme, purchasing 408,998 ordinary shares on 26 March 2026 at a volume-weighted average price of 115.35 pence per share through Peel Hunt. The company intends to cancel these shares, reducing its share count to 290,537,361 in issue and confirming 292,108,886 voting rights outstanding at the time of the announcement, a move that marginally enhances earnings per share and underscores management’s focus on capital returns.
The transactions were executed on the London Stock Exchange within a tight price range of 115.00 to 115.40 pence, reflecting disciplined execution under the buyback mandate launched earlier in March. For investors, the continued repurchases and planned cancellation signal confidence in the company’s valuation and balance sheet strength, while slightly increasing existing shareholders’ proportional ownership and voting power.
The most recent analyst rating on (GB:NCC) stock is a Hold with a £120.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on NCC Group plc stock, see the GB:NCC Stock Forecast page.
