Science Group Executes Modest Share Buyback for Treasury Holding

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

Science Group plc has executed a small share buyback, acquiring 5,000 ordinary shares at 578 pence each on 21 May 2026 via Panmure Liberum Limited. The repurchased shares, representing 0.01% of prior voting rights, will be held in treasury, leaving 40,998,593 ordinary shares in issue excluding treasury and 5,187,281 shares held in treasury.

The updated share count provides the new denominator for shareholders’ disclosure calculations under the FCA’s transparency rules and reinforces the company’s ongoing use of buybacks as a capital management tool. This move marginally increases the proportionate ownership of remaining shareholders and may signal continued confidence in the company’s valuation and financial position.

The most recent analyst rating on (GB:SAG) stock is a Buy with a £758.00 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.
