Science ( (GB:SAG) ) just unveiled an announcement.
Science Group plc has repurchased 17,500 of its 1 pence ordinary shares at an average price of 547 pence, with all shares bought at the same price through Panmure Liberum Limited. The transaction represents around 0.04% of prior voting rights, and the shares will be held in treasury, leaving 42,819,312 ordinary shares in issue excluding treasury stock and 3,366,562 shares held in treasury, a figure shareholders can use to assess disclosure thresholds under FCA rules.
The buyback slightly reduces the free float while increasing treasury holdings, signaling continued use of capital management tools to influence share structure and potentially enhance shareholder value. By clarifying the updated share count for regulatory calculations, the company also supports transparency for investors monitoring their notifiable interests and compliance with disclosure requirements.
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.
