Plus500 launches $100m buyback after strong year and global expansion push

Plus500 ( (GB:PLUS) ) has provided an update.

Plus500 has launched a new share buyback programme of up to $100m, forming part of a $187.5m capital return package that also includes $87.5m in dividends, following a year of strong strategic, operational and financial performance. The move underscores the company’s confidence in its cash-generative model and balance sheet, with about $0.8bn in cash at year-end 2025, and follows initiatives such as the launch of prediction markets in the U.S. and the acquisition of Mehta Equities in India.

The programme authorises the repurchase of up to 3,769,933 shares, to be conducted as an irrevocable, non-discretionary mandate managed by Panmure Liberum through open-market transactions within defined regulatory parameters. All repurchased shares will be held in treasury without voting or dividend rights, and the buyback will run until at least the announcement of Plus500’s 2026 preliminary results, signalling an ongoing commitment to shareholder returns while preserving capacity for organic and inorganic growth.

The most recent analyst rating on (GB:PLUS) stock is a Buy with a £5182.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Plus500 stock, see the GB:PLUS Stock Forecast page.

Spark’s Take on GB:PLUS Stock

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, GB:PLUS is a Outperform.

The score is driven primarily by strong financial performance (profitability, low leverage, and solid cash generation) and supported by reasonable valuation with a good dividend yield. Technicals show a strong uptrend, but very overbought momentum readings meaningfully temper the overall score due to higher near-term pullback risk.
