Science ( (GB:SAG) ) just unveiled an announcement.
Science Group plc has repurchased 20,000 of its 1 pence ordinary shares at an average price of 571 pence per share, with all trades executed via Panmure Liberum Limited on 28 April 2026. The entire tranche, representing 0.05% of pre-transaction voting rights, will be held in treasury, reflecting continued use of share buybacks as a capital management tool.
Following this transaction, the company now has 41,164,101 ordinary shares in issue excluding 5,021,773 treasury shares, a figure that becomes the new reference point for regulatory disclosure thresholds. The updated share count and treasury position provide investors with clarity on voting rights and may marginally enhance earnings per share by reducing the effective free float over time.
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.
