Science Group Buys Back Further Shares, Updates Share Capital

Science ( (GB:SAG) ) has provided an update.

Science Group plc has continued its share buyback activity, repurchasing 17,500 ordinary shares of 1 pence each on 12 February 2026 at an average price of 541.5 pence per share through Panmure Liberum Limited. The repurchased shares, representing 0.04% of existing voting rights, will be held in treasury, taking treasury holdings to 3,327,062 shares and leaving 42,858,812 ordinary shares in issue excluding treasury.

The updated share capital figure provides investors with a new denominator for calculating disclosure thresholds under the FCA’s transparency rules. The transaction marginally reduces the free float, which can support earnings per share over time and signals continued capital management by the company, though the immediate impact on overall ownership structure is relatively small.

The most recent analyst rating on (GB:SAG) stock is a Buy with a £621.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Science stock, see the GB:SAG Stock Forecast page.
