The latest announcement is out from Polar Capital Holdings ( (GB:POLR) ).
Polar Capital has continued to execute its previously announced share buyback programme, repurchasing 20,000 ordinary shares on 16 February 2026 at prices between 630p and 635p, with a volume-weighted average price of 633.4012p. The company said the shares, acquired via Deutsche Numis, will be cancelled, reducing its issued share capital and leaving 101,175,593 ordinary shares in issue and voting rights outstanding.
The transaction, which forms part of an ongoing capital management strategy, marginally increases existing shareholders’ proportional ownership and may support earnings per share over time. The updated share count also provides a new reference point for investors assessing disclosure thresholds under UK transparency rules, underlining Polar Capital’s continued use of buybacks as a tool for returning capital to shareholders.
The most recent analyst rating on (GB:POLR) stock is a Buy with a £736.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Polar Capital Holdings stock, see the GB:POLR Stock Forecast page.
