Balfour Beatty shares climbed after the company launched a hefty new buyback programme running to 2026, with up to £200m earmarked for repurchases, including a £50m first tranche. The group has already bought around 3.2m shares, which are being held in treasury following purchases made on 9–10 March.
The rally was further fuelled by robust 2025 results, featuring a record £22.7bn order book and a higher dividend that signalled management confidence. Despite the upbeat news, analysts’ views remain broadly neutral, suggesting some see the good news as largely priced in.
