AIB Group ( (AIBRF) ) has shared an update.

AIB Group has continued execution of its recently announced €1.0 billion share buyback, repurchasing 525,000 ordinary shares on 5 March on Euronext Dublin via Goodbody Stockbrokers at prices between €8.66 and €9.01, with a volume-weighted average of €8.8196. The bought-back shares will be cancelled, reducing the number of shares in issue to about 2.14 billion and underscoring the bank’s ongoing capital return to shareholders, which can enhance earnings per share and signal management confidence in the group’s financial position.

The transaction leaves AIB with no treasury shares and forms part of a structured programme conducted in line with EU Market Abuse Regulation, with detailed trade data disclosed for transparency. For investors, the continued buyback activity reinforces AIB’s commitment to shareholder distributions alongside dividends, while modestly tightening the stock’s free float and potentially supporting the bank’s valuation over time.
