Rightmove plc has continued its long-running capital return strategy by repurchasing 240,000 of its 0.1p ordinary shares on 8 April 2026 at a volume-weighted average price of 443.024p, with the shares acquired via UBS AG London Branch. The company said the buyback represents 0.0317% of existing voting rights, will be fully cancelled, and is part of a programme under which it has now bought back a cumulative 551,382,729 shares, leaving 757,036,183 ordinary shares in issue and 10,635,168 held in treasury. The latest transaction slightly reduces Rightmove’s free float and total voting rights, reinforcing a capital allocation policy focused on enhancing earnings per share and returning surplus cash to investors. By steadily shrinking its share count over many years, the group underlines confidence in its cash generation and business model, while offering incremental support to shareholder value in a competitive U.K. online property portal market.

Spark’s Take on RMV Stock According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, RMV is a Outperform. The score is driven primarily by outstanding financial performance (high margins, strong free cash flow, low leverage) and a supportive earnings outlook with continued capital returns. These positives are tempered by weak technical trends (below key longer-term moving averages with negative MACD) and only moderate valuation support (P/E ~15.9, ~2.27% yield).
