SSP Group plc ( (GB:SSPG) ) just unveiled an announcement.
SSP Group plc has continued to execute its £100 million share repurchase programme, buying 230,000 ordinary shares for cancellation on 3 March 2026 at a volume-weighted average price of 186.6029 pence. The transactions, carried out on the London Stock Exchange via Barclays Bank as principal, reduce the company’s share count to 784,259,027, consolidating voting rights among remaining shareholders and signalling ongoing capital returns to investors.
In aggregate, SSP has now cancelled 20,247,169 shares under the buyback since the programme was launched in October 2025. The absence of treasury shares means all repurchased stock is permanently removed from circulation, which can enhance earnings per share and may support valuation metrics as the group navigates trading conditions in the travel-focused food and beverage sector.
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.
