The latest update is out from SSP Group plc ( (GB:SSPG) ).
SSP Group plc has continued its £100 million share repurchase programme, buying 230,000 ordinary shares on 13 February 2026 from Barclays Bank as on-exchange transactions and cancelling them. The latest purchases bring total buybacks under the programme to 17,891,509 shares, reducing the number of shares in issue to 786,614,687 and marginally increasing existing shareholders’ proportional ownership and voting power.
By shrinking its free-float through cancellations rather than holding shares in treasury, SSP is signalling confidence in its valuation and future cash generation. The ongoing buyback may provide incremental support to the share price and adjusts the company’s capital structure in favour of equity holders, with implications for earnings per share and longer-term returns.
The most recent analyst rating on (GB:SSPG) stock is a Hold with a £181.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on SSP Group plc stock, see the GB:SSPG Stock Forecast page.
