An update from Smiths Group plc ( (GB:SMIN) ) is now available.
Smiths Group has repurchased a total of 149,? (79,195 + 24,946 + 21,947 + 13,269 + 10,643) of its ordinary shares on 20 February 2026 across several trading venues, at volume-weighted average prices around 2,687 pence per share. The company plans to cancel all the shares bought back, effectively reducing its share capital, which may enhance earnings per share and signals continued capital management discipline that could be viewed positively by investors.
The buyback, executed through HSBC on multiple London markets including XLON, CHIX, AQXE, TRQX and BATE, follows previously issued instructions from November 2025. By shrinking its share base while operating in attractive and growing industrial segments, Smiths Group reinforces its shareholder-return strategy and underlines confidence in its financial position and long-term prospects in core energy and industrial efficiency markets.
The most recent analyst rating on (GB:SMIN) stock is a Hold with a £2847.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Smiths Group plc stock, see the GB:SMIN Stock Forecast page.
