The latest announcement is out from Softcat ( (GB:SCT) ).
Softcat has issued and allotted 44,646 new ordinary shares between 3 February 2026 and 26 March 2026 under its Long Term Incentive Plan, with a further 210,189 shares having been issued under the same scheme between December 2025 and January 2026. These shares, admitted under existing block listings from 2021 and 2025, take the company’s total issued share capital to 196,850,184 ordinary shares, modestly diluting existing holders while underscoring the continued use of share-based incentives in its remuneration structure.
The additional shares are fully fungible with existing ordinary shares already trading on the London Stock Exchange Main Market, ensuring seamless integration into the current free float. This incremental expansion of the equity base reflects routine administration of incentive awards rather than a capital-raising exercise, indicating stable financing conditions while maintaining market transparency over changes in Softcat’s share capital.
The most recent analyst rating on (GB:SCT) stock is a Hold with a £1287.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Softcat stock, see the GB:SCT Stock Forecast page.

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, SCT is a Outperform.
Softcat’s strong financial performance and positive corporate events are the most significant factors driving the score. However, technical indicators suggest caution due to bearish trends, and the valuation is moderate. The absence of recent earnings call data limits insights into management’s current outlook.
