Strix Group ( (GB:KETL) ) has issued an update.
Strix Group has continued its previously announced share buyback programme, repurchasing 298,096 ordinary shares on 23 March 2026 at a volume‑weighted average price of 35.3855 pence, with trades executed via broker Zeus Capital on the London Stock Exchange. Following this transaction, the company holds 5,671,395 shares in treasury, leaving 224,256,155 shares in issue with voting rights, a change that slightly concentrates existing shareholders’ ownership and may affect disclosure thresholds under FCA transparency rules.
The buyback leaves Strix’s total issued share capital unchanged at 229,927,550 shares, indicating that repurchased stock is being held in treasury rather than cancelled, which can give the board future flexibility over capital management. Investors will watch for further buyback activity, as the company has signalled it will make additional announcements as purchases under the programme continue, potentially supporting the share price and signalling management’s confidence in the group’s prospects.
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.

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, KETL is a Neutral.
The overall stock score of 68 reflects a mix of strong technical momentum and reasonable valuation, offset by financial performance challenges. The stock’s bullish trend is a significant positive, but the company’s financial health, particularly profitability and leverage, presents risks that need to be addressed to sustain long-term growth.
