Capital Gearing Trust has intensified its share repurchase program, acquiring an additional 15,235 of its own shares on August 11, 2025, at an average price of 4,840 pence per share. These shares were moved directly to the company’s treasury, bringing its total holdings to 9.566 million shares. With only 17.014 million shares remaining in circulation, the trust’s persistent buybacks highlight management’s confidence in the stock’s undervaluation. The net asset value (NAV) per share stood at 4,916.61 pence as of August 8, suggesting a notable discount to the repurchase price.
Undervaluation Drives Strategic Moves
The consistent buybacks signal management’s belief that the shares present a compelling investment opportunity compared to alternatives in the current market. By reducing the number of outstanding shares, the trust aims to enhance value for remaining shareholders. Additionally, the release of its July 2025 factsheet underscores routine transparency efforts, though the focus remains on the aggressive treasury accumulation. With over 9.5 million shares now held, Capital Gearing retains flexibility for future strategic actions, reinforcing its commitment to capitalizing on perceived market inefficiencies.
