Strix Group ( (GB:KETL) ) has shared an announcement.
Strix Group has continued to execute its previously announced share buyback programme, repurchasing 204,938 ordinary shares on 23 February 2026 at a volume-weighted average price of 48.784 pence. Following this transaction, its issued share capital remains 229,927,550 shares, but treasury holdings rise to 1,831,660 shares, reducing total voting rights for shareholders to 228,095,890 and marginally increasing existing investors’ proportional ownership.
The buyback, carried out through broker Zeus Capital on the London Stock Exchange, forms part of the Group’s ongoing capital management strategy and signals management’s willingness to return capital to shareholders while potentially supporting the share price. The company said it will provide further updates as additional purchases under the programme are made, indicating that the current reduction in free float and voting rights may continue over the course of the initiative.
The most recent analyst rating on (GB:KETL) stock is a Buy with a £75.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Strix Group stock, see the GB:KETL Stock Forecast page.
