NewRiver REIT has called a general meeting for 24 February 2026 to seek shareholder approval for a new authority to buy back up to 10% of its issued ordinary share capital, after the previous authority was fully used to acquire and cancel shares sold by major investor Growthpoint Properties in 2025 at a discount to EPRA NTA. Although the board stresses it has no immediate plans to restart buybacks, the move is designed to restore flexibility to repurchase shares while they trade at a steep discount—around 31%—to reported EPRA NTA, with directors arguing that any future buybacks would be undertaken only under favourable conditions to enhance net tangible assets and underlying funds from operations per share, potentially supporting shareholder value and signalling confidence in the company’s valuation. The most recent analyst rating on (GB:NRR) stock is a Buy with a £98.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on NewRiver REIT stock, see the GB:NRR Stock Forecast page.
