LSE:IMI 17 February 2026 - 10 March 2026

IMI began a £250 million share buyback on Monday, managed by J.P. Morgan Securities, with shares to be cancelled. The company reported 2025 revenue up 4% to £2.304 billion and a 20.0% adjusted operating margin. IMI expects a sixth year of mid-single-digit organic growth in 2026. Shares fell 3.1% Monday as the FTSE 100 hit a five-week low.

IMI shares fell 0.35% to 2,810 pence in early London trading Tuesday as investors awaited UK inflation data due Wednesday and the company’s March 6 results. Sterling weakened after UK labour data showed higher unemployment and slower wage growth, fueling bets on Bank of England rate cuts.
