An update from SSP Group plc ( (GB:SSPG) ) is now available.
SSP Group plc has continued executing its previously announced £100 million share repurchase programme, buying 1,138,248 ordinary shares for cancellation between 23 and 27 March 2026 at a volume-weighted average price of 176.8288 pence. The company has now acquired a total of 24,361,762 shares under the programme, reducing its shares in issue to 780,144,434 and confirming that it holds no treasury shares, a move that marginally boosts earnings per share and tightens its free float for existing investors.
Following these latest purchases, SSP’s total voting rights now stand at 780,144,434, reflecting the cancellation of all repurchased stock to date. The ongoing buyback underlines management’s capital allocation strategy and confidence in the group’s valuation, while modestly enhancing shareholder value through a smaller share base and potentially improved per-share financial metrics.
The most recent analyst rating on (GB:SSPG) stock is a Hold with a £180.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on SSP Group plc stock, see the GB:SSPG Stock Forecast page.
