Summary by AI BETAClose X
Aberforth Smaller Companies Trust repurchased 10,000 ordinary shares on 6 November 2026 at 1,879.00p per share (£18.79), reducing shares outstanding to 75,365,105. A total of 3,684,000 ordinary shares have now been purchased and cancelled under the AGM-authorised buyback (approved 5 March 2026), representing approximately 4.66% of the issued share capital prior to those cancellations. The market purchase reduces the share count and, all else equal, is likely supportive of NAV per share and could exert upward pressure on the share price.
