The upcoming CEO change to Ian Brown on 28 September and strong UK GDP data boosted investor sentiment; the stock closed at 197.5p (day high 206.8p). » Mais em de.investing.com

Trainline has announced a 12-month share buyback programme of £100 million, which will commence after the expected completion of a prior £150 million buyback. The repurchase will take place in two tranches; Morgan Stanley has been appointed as riskless principal for the first tranche of up to £50 million, and there is an arrangement with Deutsche Bank for the second tranche. Purchases will be made in accordance with EU market abuse rules and FCA listing rules; acquired shares will, where legally possible, be cancelled or held as treasury shares. Trainline will publicly disclose repurchases within seven business days and expects the programme to continue beyond the next annual general meeting unless the authority is renewed. » Mais em de.investing.com
