Xaar plc ( (GB:XAR) ) just unveiled an update.
Xaar plc has granted new conditional performance share awards to its chief executive John Mills, chief financial officer Paul James and chief operating officer Graham Tweedale under its 2017 Long Term Incentive Plan. The awards, based on adjusted profit before tax and relative total shareholder return against the Deutsche Numis Smaller Companies Index, will vest after three years and are subject to a further two-year holding period, aligning senior management incentives with profitability and shareholder value.
On the same date, Mills and James also received nil-cost share awards under Xaar’s Deferred Bonus Plan, due to vest after two years without additional performance conditions. The grants, calculated using a five-day average share price of £1.392, reinforce the company’s use of equity-based remuneration to retain key executives and link their rewards to long-term share performance, a standard practice in UK-listed technology groups.
The most recent analyst rating on (GB:XAR) stock is a Buy with a £160.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Xaar plc stock, see the GB:XAR Stock Forecast page.
Spark’s Take on XAR Stock
According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, XAR is a Neutral.
The score is driven primarily by a resilient balance sheet but still-weak profitability and inconsistent cash flow. The latest earnings call adds support via credible growth and margin-improvement targets with tangible FY2025 traction, while technicals are mixed and valuation remains constrained by losses and no dividend.
