The latest announcement is out from Pearson ( (PSO) ).
On 16 January 2026, Pearson plc filed a block listing return covering activity between 1 December 2025 and 15 January 2026 for two of its employee share schemes, providing an update on the use of previously authorised share capital. Under its Save for Shares Plan, the company allotted 41,942 shares during the period, reducing the balance of unallotted securities under that scheme from 1,482,109 to 1,440,167, while no shares were issued under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan, leaving its unallotted balance unchanged at 2,228,992 shares. The disclosures indicate modest utilisation of shares for employee incentives without any increase in the size of the underlying block listings, suggesting Pearson is continuing to support staff participation in equity schemes within existing shareholder authorisations rather than expanding its potential dilution.
The most recent analyst rating on (PSO) stock is a Hold with a $15.50 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Pearson stock, see the PSO Stock Forecast page.
