UK Market Re-Rating Potential

Valuations of UK stocks have attracted overseas corporate buyers due to their cheap prices, with a significant increase in bids for UK stocks. Additionally, UK companies have been buying back their stocks at a fast pace, with about 50% of UK companies doing so in the last year, the highest rate globally. These factors are likely to drive a re-rating for the UK market.
