IMI buyback math shows FTSE gap with results still ahead

IMI plc closed out the week up 0.82% at 2,940p, widening a weekly gap over the FTSE 100, which finished Friday up 0.25% at 10,679.03. London markets are closed for the weekend. For holders, the main point isn’t the daily price move but the share count calculation. IMI wrapped up its first £250 million buyback, part of the planned £500 million program. Now Deutsche Bank AG’s London branch, operating as Deutsche Numis, will oversee the next £250 million phase.

IMI shares gain ahead of £500 million buyback and July results

IMI plc pushed higher late in Friday’s London session, with trading patterns hinting at a cash-return move, not fresh news from the company. Shares were up 42p, or 1.44%, at 2,958p as of 16:01 BST on Google Finance. The FTSE 100 index added 0.18% at 15:47 BST. London Stock Exchange trading ends at 16:30 BST. IMI is trading near its highs, but the second £250 million piece of its buyback hasn’t shown up yet in daily filings. Investegate’s IMI RNS feed showed the most recent IMI update was a July 1 total voting rights notice; before that, a June 22 filing said the first £250 million buyback piece was finished.

IMI plc (LON:IMI) lags FTSE 100 as buyback impact dulls gains

IMI plc fell 8p to 2,916p on Thursday, losing 0.27% while the FTSE 100 added 1.67%. IMI lagged the index by nearly 2 points. Trading volume was about 18% higher than usual. Hargreaves Lansdown listed the stock as closed for the day with pricing delayed. IMI gave up just a little ground. The setup was bigger. Shares are still sitting 39.12% higher year-on-year and now just 4.21% under their June 19 peak at 3,044.04p. That doesn’t leave much space for a typical buyback and guidance play unless July earnings prove the valuation.

IMI plc slipped roughly 1.4% late Monday in London, easing back from Friday’s top even as the broader market moved higher.

IMI reported its latest buyback on Friday, picking up 54,318 shares at an average price of £30.31 each. That’s near the day’s top trade at £30.42. The group cancels the bought shares, which shrinks its total share count.

IMI plc Keeps 2026 Guidance Intact — The Middle East Risk Investors Are Watching

IMI plc stuck to its 2026 profit forecast as organic revenue for the first quarter climbed 5%. Investors remain focused on the FTSE 100 engineering firm's ability to translate its order backlog into sales, with parts of the Middle East still unsettled by conflict. IMI continues to project full-year adjusted basic earnings per share between 136p and 142p. The range barely diverged from what the market was already pricing in. According to the company’s own analyst consensus from April 29, 2026 adjusted EPS stood at 140.1p with group revenue forecast at 2.37 billion pounds — so guidance didn’t move far from those expectations.

IMI plc dropped 2.01% to finish at 2,736 pence on May 1, its last session before the UK market holiday. As the FTSE 100 edged down 0.14%, attention stayed on the Birmingham engineer’s £500 million buyback and the first-quarter update lined up for next week. London markets were closed Monday for the Early May Bank Holiday, so IMI’s last active price came from Friday. The London Stock Exchange had flagged May 4 as both a non-trading and non-settlement day, according to its official calendar.
