Rightmove plc has continued its long-running capital return strategy by repurchasing 200,000 ordinary shares on 25 March 2026 at a volume-weighted average price of 421.947p, with the shares acquired through UBS AG London Branch. The buyback, representing 0.0263% of prior voting rights, will see the shares cancelled and leaves 758,896,659 ordinary shares in issue excluding treasury stock, underscoring the company’s ongoing use of share repurchases to manage its capital structure and enhance shareholder returns.

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).
