AIB Group ( (AIBRF) ) has provided an announcement.

AIB Group plc has continued execution of its €1.0 billion share buyback programme, repurchasing 2,930,887 ordinary shares on Euronext Dublin between 30 March and 2 April 2026 through Goodbody Stockbrokers. The transactions, carried out at volume-weighted average prices ranging from about €8.58 to €9.06 per share, are part of management’s broader capital return strategy to shareholders.

Following the cancellation of these repurchased shares, AIB’s total shares in issue will fall to 2,124,855,159, with no shares held in treasury, marginally enhancing earnings per share and voting stake for remaining investors. The ongoing reduction in share count underscores the bank’s confidence in its capital position and profitability, and may support the stock’s valuation as the buyback programme progresses.
