Springfield has announced a share buyback programme for the on-market purchase of up to c.6m ordinary shares (c.5% of issued share capital), subject to shareholder approval at a General Meeting.
Share buybacks are being announced with increasing frequency amongst UK housebuilders, with Barratt Redrow notably launching a £400m programme last month.
For Springfield, this follows a period of strong cash generation and, in our view, represents an effective use of capital, given a c.25% discount to NAV.
