Character ( (GB:CCT) ) has issued an update.
The Character Group plc has continued to execute its previously announced share buyback programme, repurchasing 7,500 ordinary shares at 244 pence each through broker Panmure Liberum on 27 February 2026. These shares have been cancelled, leaving the company with 17,576,149 shares in issue excluding treasury stock and 1,983,059 shares held in treasury, a figure that now forms the basis for calculating total voting rights.
By reducing the number of shares in issue, Character marginally increases earnings per share potential for remaining investors and signals an active approach to capital management. The clarified voting rights total also provides a precise reference point for shareholders assessing disclosure thresholds under UK transparency rules, underscoring the company’s compliance with market regulations and its engagement with capital markets.
The most recent analyst rating on (GB:CCT) stock is a Hold with a £244.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Character stock, see the GB:CCT Stock Forecast page.
