Strix Group ( (GB:KETL) ) has provided an update.
Strix Group has repurchased 53,897 ordinary shares as part of its ongoing share buyback programme, paying a volume-weighted average price of 42.3201 pence per share on 20 May 2026. The issued share capital remains at 229,927,550 shares, but with 31,667,127 now held in treasury, total voting rights have been reduced to 198,260,423.
The buyback, executed through broker Stifel Nicolaus Europe Limited, incrementally tightens the company’s free float and may enhance earnings per share over time by reducing the number of shares in circulation. Strix has indicated it will continue to update the market on further purchases under the programme, a move likely to be closely watched by investors assessing capital allocation and shareholder return policy.
The most recent analyst rating on (GB:KETL) stock is a Buy with a £70.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Strix Group stock, see the GB:KETL Stock Forecast page.
