Smiths Group plc ( (GB:SMIN) ) has issued an update.
Smiths Group plc has confirmed that, as of the close of business on 27 February 2026, its issued share capital consisted of 313,500,104 ordinary shares of 37.5p each, all admitted to the Financial Conduct Authority’s Official List and to trading on the London Stock Exchange. Each share carries one vote and the company holds no treasury shares, giving a total of 313,500,104 voting rights.
The company stated that this voting-rights figure should be used by shareholders and other obliged parties as the denominator when assessing whether they need to disclose holdings or changes in holdings under the FCA’s transparency rules. Smiths Group also noted that this total does not yet factor in shares bought back between 23 and 27 February 2026 under its share buyback programme which have not yet settled and been cancelled, implying that the overall share count and voting rights will decrease once those transactions complete.
The most recent analyst rating on (GB:SMIN) stock is a Hold with a £2979.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Smiths Group plc stock, see the GB:SMIN Stock Forecast page.
