An announcement from Science ( (GB:SAG) ) is now available.
Science Group plc has repurchased 21,500 of its 1 pence ordinary shares at an average price of 576.5 pence per share, with all trades executed via Panmure Liberum Limited on 5 May 2026. The transaction, representing 0.05% of prior voting rights, adds to the company’s treasury holdings and modestly reduces the free float, refining its capital structure without materially altering overall control.
Following the buyback, Science Group now has 41,127,601 ordinary shares in issue excluding 5,058,273 shares held in treasury, a figure shareholders may use when calculating disclosure thresholds under FCA transparency rules. The move signals continued use of share repurchases as a capital management tool, potentially supporting earnings per share and providing clarity on the updated denominator for regulatory reporting by investors.
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.
