The Gym Group Cancels Newly Repurchased Shares, Trimming Share Capital

The Gym ( (GB:GYM) ) has issued an announcement.

The Gym Group plc has repurchased 20,161 of its ordinary shares on 6 February 2026 through Peel Hunt at a volume-weighted average price of 174.34 pence per share. The company plans to cancel these shares, which will reduce its issued share capital and leave 179,138,756 shares in issue with no shares held in treasury.

While small in size, the buyback forms part of a broader capital management approach and signals ongoing efforts to manage the group’s equity base and optimise its capital structure over time.

The most recent analyst rating on (GB:GYM) stock is a Hold with a £183.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on The Gym stock, see the GB:GYM Stock Forecast page.
