SSP Group plc ( (GB:SSPG) ) just unveiled an announcement.
SSP Group plc has continued executing its £100 million share buyback, purchasing 230,000 ordinary shares on 2 March 2026 from Barclays Bank plc in on-exchange transactions on the London Stock Exchange, at a volume-weighted average price of 193.2137 pence. Including this latest tranche, SSP has repurchased just over 20 million shares for cancellation under the programme, reducing its share count to 784,489,027 and thereby modestly increasing the ownership stake and voting power of remaining shareholders.
The buyback-driven reduction in share capital signals ongoing capital management efforts and may support earnings per share over time, although it does not alter the company’s operational footprint in the travel catering market. With no shares held in treasury and all repurchases cancelled, the move simplifies SSP’s capital structure and clarifies the total number of voting rights for investors and index compilers.
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.
