I'm not sure how you would find that out as many/nearly all shareholders hold via broker accounts such as ii and are not personally identified.
No doubt you have your own way of looking at things but I would have thought what matters is the number of shares in issue not the individual shareholdings. You can get that by looking at the annual reports or checking back to the RNS on the date you want to start.
Does anyone know how many shareholders Greencore currently has ? I ask because am interested in understanding the efect the share buyback has had. On 29.11.2021, before the buyback, yhere were 8,537. Now ?
Greencore Group
Q1 update – off to a positive start
Greencore’s healthy Q1 like-for-like (LFL) growth of 5.8% (excluding Trilby and contract exits) was supported by healthy Christmas trading, with manufactured volumes ahead 5.6% over the four week period. Food to go (FtG) performance was supported by an overall sandwich LFL volume increase of 3%. Profit conversion was in line with management expectations, with cost inflation abating across raw materials and energy. The group anticipates FY24 profit delivery to be in line with current market consensus. As such, we envisage limited changes to our forecasts.
Disappointing update, nothing to expect material changes going forward.
Yes expecting an upgrade in earnings and return of dividend indication. A bid / MBO is not out of the question IMHO.
Adding to position on any drops, the price action since the next year suggests continuation of positive news.
1st one this year, who is organising it?
Another bag of smoke.
Any forecast for the AGM, does anyone see any changes in forecasts
Here's to a repeat of the Oct surprise and a return to the 120/135/150p levels

Sandwich maker Greencore shares soar 25% after profit upgrade
Euan Healy October 10 2023
Greencore, the UK’s largest sandwich maker, has been able to raise its annual profit forecast as the popularity of “food-to-go” endures despite inflation and increasingly cost-conscious consumers.
The upgrade sent the Dublin-based group’s shares surging as much as 25 per cent to 86.25p on Tuesday following the unscheduled trading update.
Always great to see.

No idea but 10th Oct RNS details share buyback program and states that company are under no obligation to complete it in full. May have just paused over Xmas so a transaction in own shares RNS tomorrow will point to that. If not then I’d expect GNC to give us a reason for halting buyback.
With no rns re stop in share buy back, is it possible that a buy out or takeover ii being discussed
Only half way through £15 million buyback so not sure what’s happening and no RNS to tel us. Here for potential divi reinstatement too.
Program ended, perhaps now setting up for a dividend return.
Back to 130p+ seems about right.
Does anyone have an idea as to why GNC have stopped buying shares back?
Crossed the 5% threshhold as we settle round £1.

One for 2024 and it just wants to go higher through £1.
Jedburgh depends on the entry point, yes a signpost for dividends would be welcome but the strategy seems to be working, just taking longer.
Don't you just love it when it also says they returned some £30m back to shareholders with the buy backs.
I think someone should tell them that the shareholders haven't seen a 1p in return for their buy backs.
Normally when a company buys back it's shares they rise but with what about 2 years of buy backs we are still out of pocket with shares down about 30%.
I think they would have done better paying that £30m buy back money on paying back more debt, now that might of given the shareholders a better return.
Looks good on the headlines with increase in sales profits etc, but still no Divi after what about 3 years so can't see the SP going back up to £1.30 anytime soon.
What dividend is this...... haven't seen one announced
Devil in detail, read headlines instead of small print on overall losses
Lo Like good results but sp falls, what am i missing ?.
