Playtech ( (GB:PTEC) ) just unveiled an announcement.
Playtech has launched a share buyback programme of up to 5,661,665 ordinary shares, to be completed by its next annual general meeting expected in late May 2026. All repurchased shares will be transferred to the company’s employee benefit trust at no cost, to be used for future awards under employee share schemes, meaning the overall number of shares in issue and voting rights is expected to remain unchanged.
The programme uses the remaining capacity under the company’s existing buyback authority, after Playtech repurchased 25,267,759 shares since the 2025 AGM. The company has mandated Jefferies International to execute the non-discretionary buyback on its behalf under strict regulatory parameters, signalling continued capital management discipline and support for long-term employee incentives without altering shareholder voting power.
The most recent analyst rating on (GB:PTEC) stock is a Hold with a £240.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Playtech stock, see the GB:PTEC Stock Forecast page.
