Science ( (GB:SAG) ) just unveiled an announcement.
Science Group plc has repurchased 5,000 of its 1 pence ordinary shares at an average price of 560 pence per share, with all trades executed through Panmure Liberum Limited. The buyback, representing around 0.01% of prior voting rights, will see the shares held in treasury, leaving 41,219,101 ordinary shares in issue and 4,966,773 held in treasury, a figure shareholders can use for regulatory disclosure calculations.
This latest transaction marginally adjusts Science Group’s capital structure while potentially signaling management’s confidence in the company’s valuation and offering a modest uplift to earnings per share over time. The updated share count and treasury position provide clarity for investors monitoring their ownership thresholds and compliance with FCA disclosure and transparency requirements.
The most recent analyst rating on (GB:SAG) stock is a Buy with a £580.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Science stock, see the GB:SAG Stock Forecast page.
Spark’s Take on SAG Stock
According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, SAG is a Outperform.
The score is driven mainly by solid financial performance (strong profitability and conservative balance sheet) and attractive valuation (low P/E). These positives are partly offset by weak technicals (price below key moving averages with negative MACD), while recent buyback-related corporate events provide a modest additional tailwind.
