An update from Rightmove ( (GB:RMV) ) is now available.

Rightmove plc has continued its long-running capital return strategy by repurchasing 260,000 of its 0.1p ordinary shares at a volume-weighted average price of 410.944p, with the buybacks executed through UBS AG’s London branch. The latest purchase, representing 0.0346% of prior voting rights, will be cancelled, reducing the share count to 750,264,007 in issue (excluding 10,624,446 treasury shares) and bringing total buybacks since 2007 to over 558 million shares.

The continued reduction in free float underscores Rightmove’s confidence in its cash generation and long-term prospects, while enhancing earnings per share for remaining investors. The sizeable cumulative buyback programme also reinforces the group’s shareholder-focused capital allocation policy at a time when digital property platforms remain central to U.K. housing market activity.

**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).
