Australian Foundation Investment Co. Ltd. ( (AU:AFI) ) has provided an update.

Australian Foundation Investment Company has cancelled 3,804,490 ordinary fully paid shares following completion of an on-market buy-back, effective 15 April 2026. The reduction in issued capital marginally increases the ownership stake of remaining shareholders and reflects the company’s ongoing use of buy-backs as a capital management tool.

The move signals continued confidence in the company’s balance sheet and investment strategy, as funds are returned to shareholders via a tighter share base rather than alternative uses of capital. This adjustment may slightly enhance earnings per share over time, supporting long-term returns for investors in the listed investment company sector.
