AIB Group ( (AIBRF) ) has provided an announcement.
AIB Group has continued execution of its €1.0 billion share buyback programme, repurchasing 484,874 ordinary shares on 19 March 2026 on Euronext Dublin at prices between €8.90 and €9.12 per share, with a volume-weighted average price of €9.0092. The repurchased shares will be cancelled, reducing the total shares in issue to 2,130,861,046 and modestly enhancing earnings per share and capital efficiency for remaining investors.
The transaction, carried out via Goodbody Stockbrokers, underscores AIB’s focus on returning excess capital to shareholders while signalling confidence in its balance sheet and future cash-generation capacity. By shrinking its free-float and confirming it holds no treasury shares, the bank further tightens its capital base, which may support valuation metrics and strengthen its positioning in the Irish banking sector.
