SSP Group plc ( (GB:SSPG) ) has provided an update.
SSP Group plc has continued executing its previously announced £100 million share repurchase programme, buying 1,145,703 ordinary shares for cancellation between 13 and 17 April 2026 at a volume-weighted average price of 191.5832 pence. The buyback, carried out via on-exchange transactions with Barclays Bank on the London Stock Exchange, reduces the company’s share count to 777,402,703 in issue and is likely to be seen as a signal of confidence in its capital position while enhancing earnings per share for remaining investors.
To date, SSP has acquired a total of 27,103,493 shares under this programme, with no shares held in treasury and all purchased stock cancelled, thereby concentrating voting rights among existing shareholders. This ongoing capital return strategy reinforces SSP’s shareholder-focused financial policy and may support its valuation in a competitive travel retail and foodservice sector where balance sheet discipline and returns to investors are closely watched.
The most recent analyst rating on (GB:SSPG) stock is a Buy with a £245.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on SSP Group plc stock, see the GB:SSPG Stock Forecast page.
