AIB Group ( (AIBRF) ) just unveiled an announcement.
AIB Group has launched a share buyback programme of up to €1.0 billion to repurchase and cancel its ordinary shares, signalling strong capital generation and a focus on returning surplus capital to investors. The on‑market programme, executed via Goodbody Stockbrokers and Morgan Stanley on Euronext Dublin, will run from 4 March 2026 to as late as 31 December 2026, subject to market conditions, capital needs and shareholder renewal of buyback authority.
The initiative, which could see up to 232,843,857 shares bought back and cancelled, is designed to reduce AIB’s share capital and may be supplemented by additional block trades within its general repurchase authority. By shrinking its equity base under strict EU and UK market abuse regulations, AIB aims to enhance capital efficiency and earnings per share, underscoring management’s confidence in the bank’s balance sheet strength and long‑term prospects for shareholders.
