AIB Group ( (AIBRF) ) just unveiled an announcement.
AIB Group has continued executing its previously announced €1.0 billion share buyback, repurchasing 525,000 ordinary shares on Euronext Dublin on 18 March 2026 at prices ranging from €9.05 to €9.39, with a volume-weighted average price of €9.2255. The shares, bought back via Goodbody Stockbrokers, will be cancelled, reducing the bank’s share count to 2,131,345,920 and modestly enhancing earnings per share and capital return for existing investors.
The transaction underscores AIB’s focus on capital efficiency and shareholder distributions, signalling management confidence in the bank’s balance sheet strength and future prospects. With no shares held in treasury following the cancellation, AIB maintains a straightforward equity structure while continuing to deploy surplus capital through buybacks in line with its broader capital management strategy.
