The latest company event was the issuance and admission of 3,012 ordinary shares on October 1, 2026, under the UK SAYE Scheme, as TradingView reported from the RNS notice.

Share count rises through SAYE

The notice brought the total number of IMI ordinary shares admitted to trading to 248,073,317. The new shares were issued on various dates between September 3 and September 30, 2026, before the October 1 admission.

For investors, the transaction is small relative to the enlarged share count. Its importance is administrative and linked to employee participation rather than a new acquisition or capital raise.

Consensus target remains above price

The target is stated in pence and cannot be directly compared with the Lang & Schwarz euro quote. On the London Stock Exchange, the primary-listing quote was GBp 3,130.00 at 8:16 a.m. BST on October 5, 2026, leaving the market quote below the reported average target in the same currency.

Its investor page lists a historical adjusted operating margin of 20.0 percent and adjusted earnings-per-share compound annual growth of 10 percent from 2019 through 2025, alongside 96 percent cash conversion, as shown on the IMI investor page.
