An announcement from NCC Group plc ( (GB:NCC) ) is now available.
NCC Group plc has repurchased 897,594 of its ordinary 1p shares on 16 March 2026 via Peel Hunt LLP at a volume-weighted average price of 123.56 pence, with trades executed between 121.40 pence and 124.20 pence on the London Stock Exchange. The company intends to cancel these shares, reducing its total shares in issue to 294,777,982, a move that marginally enhances earnings per share and may signal management’s confidence in the business while updating the free float denominator for regulatory disclosure purposes.
The latest transaction forms part of a broader share buyback programme announced earlier in March 2026, under which NCC is returning capital to shareholders through market purchases. By shrinking its share capital and confirming that no shares are held in treasury, the group simplifies its capital structure and clarifies the base for investors and regulators assessing ownership thresholds under the UK’s transparency rules.
The most recent analyst rating on (GB:NCC) stock is a Hold with a £125.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on NCC Group plc stock, see the GB:NCC Stock Forecast page.
