Future PLC shares drop 12% after pausing £30m buyback to focus on debt reduction despite steady trading.

Future PLC's shares fell nearly 12% after the company paused its £30 million share buyback program to prioritize debt reduction, despite confirming that full-year trading remains in line with expectations. Peel Hunt maintained a 'buy' rating and a 535p price target, describing the update as reassuring and supporting the decision to focus on deleveraging. The broker adjusted earnings per share forecasts down by about 3% due to the paused buyback but kept profit forecasts broadly unchanged, expecting net debt to fall below one times earnings by 2028. The shares are considered attractive at around three times forecast 2027 earnings with a 33% free cash flow yield despite the market's near-term negative reaction.
