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

Science Group plc has executed a further share buyback, repurchasing 23,800 ordinary shares of 1 pence each on 1 April 2026 at an average price of 525 pence per share through Panmure Liberum Limited. The transaction, conducted at a single price level, represents 0.06% of the Company’s prior voting share capital, with all acquired shares to be held in treasury rather than cancelled.

Following this latest transaction, Science Group now has 41,274,101 ordinary shares in issue excluding 4,911,773 shares held in treasury, a structure that can influence earnings-per-share calculations and capital management flexibility. The updated share count also provides investors with a new reference denominator for regulatory disclosure thresholds, clarifying reporting obligations under the FCA’s transparency rules and signalling continued active management of the Company’s capital base.

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.
