AIB Group has continued executing its previously announced €1.0 billion share buyback, repurchasing 600,000 ordinary shares on 12 March 2026 via Goodbody Stockbrokers on Euronext Dublin, at prices ranging between €8.88 and €9.45 and a volume-weighted average of €9.1028 per share. The shares will be cancelled, reducing the total shares in issue to about 2.13 billion and modestly enhancing earnings per share and capital return for investors, while signalling ongoing confidence in the bank’s financial position and long-term strategy.
