LSE:INF 26 March 2026 - 4 July 2026

Informa Plc finished the London session at 916.6p, up 1.4p. Shares moved between 909.4p and 920.2p during the day. The gain lagged the UK large-cap index, which added 0.25%. Informa is up 11.7% over the last four weeks. The figure not getting much attention is the cost of cutting the share count. Informa’s latest weekly buyback filing said it bought 932,607 shares for cancellation between June 22 and June 26. The venue breakdown in the RNS points to a weighted average price near 879.35p, making the outlay around £8.2 million. The last quote on Friday was 4.2% higher than that.

Informa PLC traded higher by midday in London on Monday, as shares moved against a weaker UK market. Google Finance showed the stock at 906.20p, up 0.94% at 13:06 BST, with 1.72 million shares changing hands. The average daily volume is 4.02 million. Reuters put the FTSE 100 down 0.2% at 0949 GMT, with UK equities under pressure. Informa said it bought back 932,607 ordinary shares for cancellation during the week from June 22 to June 26, as part of its buyback programme of at least £250 million running through 2026. After settlement, Informa said its total share count would be 1,261,562,489, leaving no shares in treasury. The announcement was not tied to sales, but to the share count.

Informa traded around 885p late Wednesday, just under the session high of 886.8p. Shares were up 5.3% from the June 17 close. The move outpaced the FTSE 100, which edged up 0.08%. Property stocks were in focus as warehouse owner Segro turned down a $16.6 billion offer from U.S.-based Prologis.

Informa PLC slipped 6.8p to 868.2p by 11:43 BST on Monday, off 0.78%. Shares had gained 1.32% on Friday. The move looks mostly like some profit-taking after shares rallied for two sessions following a positive AGM statement and Citi moving to a “buy” rating. Monday’s only news was a routine buyback update. The stock started the day at 877.2p, hit 878.2p at the high, and dropped to 867.0p at the low. LSE: INF is still trading above last Wednesday’s pre-update close at 840.4p. Monday’s drop hasn’t erased gains, with the stock holding 27.8p, or 3.31%, over that mark and staying 4.6p above Thursday’s 863.6p close. The move cooled off the chart, but the market’s positive read on the trading update

Informa ended the week higher, climbing 1.3% to 875 pence on Friday after Thursday’s trading update had investors buying for a second session. The stock is up around 7.2% since last Friday’s 816 pence close. London was shut for trading on Saturday. Informa’s performance was out of step with the rest of the market. The FTSE 100 dropped about 1% for the week, its worst run in six weeks, as investors shied away from risk on geopolitical and political worries in Britain. The way Informa traded points to investors seeing its update as a company risk getting cut, not just a move with the overall market.

Informa shares rose again Friday after Citi upgraded the stock, adding to Thursday’s 2.76% climb. The shares are up more than 7% in five days, outperforming the London market. The timing is key. Official travel guidance drives insurance terms and companies’ decisions on business trips. Britain on Thursday dropped its warning against non-essential travel to Riyadh and the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia, but the area near the Yemen border still has restrictions.

Informa Plc pushed higher for a second straight day in London on Monday, adding to Friday’s rally and beating the wider UK market. Davy’s late reading had the shares at 846.40p, up 30.20p. At 15:47 BST, Fidelity showed Informa up 3.68%. The FTSE All-Share slipped 0.27%. Informa’s moves are tied to demand in live B2B events, academic subscriptions, and returns, with heavy UK exposure in events, digital, and research. Informa said Monday it bought 1,044,693 shares between June 8 and June 12, and will cancel them all. In its latest buyback update, the company repeated its pledge to spend at least £200 million on buybacks in 2026. The programme was increased by £50 million to £250 million in March, before
