Character ( ($GB:CCT) ) just unveiled an announcement.
The Character Group plc has continued to execute its previously announced share buyback programme, repurchasing 5,000 ordinary shares at a price of 316 pence per share on 7 October 2026. The repurchased shares have been cancelled, leaving the company with 1,983,059 shares held in treasury and 17,311,949 shares in issue, which now represents the total voting rights for shareholders.
By reducing the number of shares in circulation, Character is tightening its free float and potentially enhancing earnings per share, while providing a clearer reference point for investors subject to U.K. disclosure rules. The updated voting rights figure of 17,311,949 will be used by shareholders as the denominator in regulatory calculations, underlining the company’s ongoing use of buybacks as a tool for capital allocation and shareholder value management.
Spark’s Take on CCT Stock
According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, CCT is a Neutral.
GB:CCT scores mid-range primarily due to weakened financial performance (declining revenue, negative profitability, and sharply lower free cash flow), partially offset by a stable, low-leverage balance sheet. Technicals are moderately positive with the share price above key longer-term moving averages and neutral momentum. Valuation is constrained by a negative P/E despite a modest dividend yield, while corporate actions (buybacks and the £9.8m property sale) add incremental support through capital return and improved liquidity.
