Science ( (GB:SAG) ) has shared an announcement.
Science Group plc has repurchased 11,980 of its own ordinary shares at an average price of 542.5 pence per share as part of its ongoing buyback activity, with all shares acquired through Panmure Liberum Limited and placed into treasury. Following this transaction, the company has 42,908,812 ordinary shares in issue excluding 3,277,062 treasury shares, a structure shareholders must now use when calculating disclosure thresholds under FCA transparency rules.
The buyback represents approximately 0.03% of the company’s prior voting rights, signalling a modest capital management move rather than a transformational shift in ownership structure. By increasing its treasury share holdings, Science Group retains flexibility for future capital allocation decisions, while the updated share count may marginally affect metrics such as earnings per share and regulatory reporting for investors with significant stakes.
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.
