Rightmove (LON:RMV) share price: buyback keeps running as UK housing data weakens

Rightmove plc was trading little changed on Tuesday, but the better story for investors was not the tick-by-tick move. The property portal is buying stock at almost the same level as the market price, just as UK housing data points to fewer deals for the agents and developers that pay for its platform. Rightmove said on Monday it bought 160,000 shares at 441.731p each through UBS AG London Branch. The purchase cost about £707,000 and cut shares in issue, excluding treasury shares, to 745.56 million. On Friday, it bought 165,000 shares at 429.117p. The two trading days took 325,000 shares out of issue, about 0.044% of the latest share count, for roughly £1.41 million.

Rightmove bounce tests buyback logic as UK housing drags

London trading was closed Saturday, so Friday’s finish is the last one available. Rightmove plc ended Friday up 1.5% at 440p, outpacing a down day for the London indexes as the FTSE 100 slipped 0.2% and the FTSE 250 was off 0.06%. Rightmove’s five-day gain after dropping out of the FTSE 100 was 5.29%, but that doesn’t change the bigger picture. Shares are still down 15.32% for the year and 44.09% over the past 12 months, MarketWatch data show.

Rightmove drops after FTSE 100 removal to end rough week

London markets were shut on Saturday, so Rightmove finished its last FTSE 100 session at 417.9 pence. Shares dropped 1.35% Friday and lost 1.95% for the week. The move to the FTSE 250, which covers firms outside the top 100, will take effect when trading starts on Monday. Rightmove is dropping out of the index after falling 19.6% this year and losing 45.8% over 12 months. The company is now valued at around £3.1 billion. The change is driven by rules, not by anything to do with Rightmove’s business. But the shares can feel it as index-tracking funds will need to rejig their holdings.

Aberdeen Group closes out lower ahead of FTSE 100 re-entry

Aberdeen Group closed up 1.6 pence at 234 pence on Friday, after trading between 224 and 234 pence through the session. Shares cut their weekly loss to around 3.4%. Trading volume topped 15 times what was seen Thursday. London markets shut for the weekend. Index mechanics look like the main force behind the move. FTSE Russell brought Aberdeen into the index at Friday’s close. Formal membership starts at the open Monday. That means passive fund demand—driven by portfolios tracking the index—may have already gone through.

Rightmove drops from FTSE 100, dragging battered shares back into focus

Rightmove is set to lose its FTSE 100 spot this month, as the UK’s largest listed property portal struggles with a slide in housing sentiment, concerns over AI investment, and a smaller market cap. It’s a symbolic setback for the company. FTSE 100 is London’s main index for the biggest listed companies. Index funds that track that benchmark will need to make changes when Rightmove shifts out of the FTSE 100 and into the FTSE 250, the mid-cap index.

UK Mortgage Rates Jump, Homebuyers Retreat as Iran War Threatens House Price Rebound

UK house prices jumped 0.9% in March, outpacing forecasts, with Nationwide reporting a 2.2% climb year-on-year to £277,186—the biggest monthly increase since December 2024. But the momentum is already under threat: a surge in mortgage rates is dampening buyer appetite and casting doubt on the spring rebound in Britain’s housing market. The rebound could be fleeting. Nationwide pointed out that in March, markets flipped from expecting two Bank of England rate cuts to betting on three hikes in the coming year. The shift followed the Iran conflict, which sent energy prices up and pushed swap rates higher—those are the market benchmarks lenders use when setting fixed mortgage deals.

Rightmove Plc Stock Price Falls Despite Fresh Buyback as UK Mortgage Market Turns Choppy

Rightmove Plc finished Tuesday’s session weaker, tacking on more losses for the FTSE 100 company despite news of fresh share buybacks. The UK property portal’s stock settled at 418.7 pence, off 1.25% for the day and hovering only 8 pence above its 52-week low of 410.7 pence. This matters for Rightmove right now: the stock’s off 7.3% in just a week and down 19.4% since the start of 2026. Investors are sizing up cash return plans, but worries persist—spending on artificial intelligence could easily crimp profits for a while.
