Rightmove plc has continued to execute its long-running share buy-back programme, repurchasing 260,000 ordinary shares at a volume-weighted average price of 438.332p on 10 April 2026 through UBS AG’s London branch. The latest purchase, representing 0.0344% of prior voting rights, will be cancelled and brings total shares bought back since the programme began in 2007 to 551.9 million, leaving 756.5 million shares in issue and 10.6 million held in treasury.

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).
