The latest announcement is out from Pacific Horizon Investment Trust PLC ( (GB:PHI) ).

Pacific Horizon Investment Trust PLC has repurchased 20,000 ordinary shares at 1,101.42p each, with the shares being placed into treasury rather than cancelled. This buyback increases the company’s treasury holdings to 11,472,290 shares, reflecting an active approach to managing its capital structure and potentially supporting the share price.

Following the transaction, the number of shares in issue excluding treasury stands at 80,602,671, which becomes the new reference figure for regulatory disclosure thresholds. Shareholders are expected to use this updated denominator when assessing whether they must report holdings or changes under FCA transparency rules, clarifying compliance obligations for investors.

Spark’s Take on PHI Stock

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, PHI is a Outperform.

The score is led by unusually attractive valuation (very low P/E and high dividend yield) and constructive technical momentum (price above major moving averages with positive MACD). Offsetting these positives, financial performance is constrained by volatile revenue and weak cash-flow conversion despite a strong, low-leverage balance sheet.
