Rightmove ( (GB:RMV) ) has provided an announcement.
Rightmove plc has continued its long-running capital return strategy by repurchasing 200,000 of its 0.1p ordinary shares on 17 March 2026 at a volume-weighted average price of 449.817p per share, with the shares to be cancelled. The transaction, executed via UBS AG London Branch, represents about 0.0263% of existing voting rights and leaves 760,114,633 ordinary shares in issue, excluding 10,642,194 shares held in treasury, bringing total buy-backs since 2007 to 548,297,253 shares.
The latest tranche of buy-backs underscores Rightmove’s ongoing commitment to managing its capital structure and enhancing shareholder returns through steady reductions in its free float. By shrinking the number of shares in circulation while maintaining a sizable treasury position, the company continues to signal confidence in its cash generation and supports earnings per share, a move likely to be welcomed by long-term investors focused on capital efficiency and yield.
The most recent analyst rating on (GB:RMV) stock is a Sell with a £521.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Rightmove stock, see the GB:RMV Stock Forecast page.
Spark’s Take on RMV Stock
According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, RMV is a Outperform.
The score is driven primarily by outstanding financial performance (high margins, strong free cash flow, low leverage) and a supportive earnings outlook with continued capital returns. These positives are tempered by weak technical trends (below key longer-term moving averages with negative MACD) and only moderate valuation support (P/E ~15.9, ~2.27% yield).
