An update from Airtel Africa Plc ( (GB:AAF) ) is now available.
Airtel Africa has repurchased 40,000 of its own ordinary shares on 16 January 2026, at prices between 357p and 362p per share and a volume-weighted average price of 359.13p, as part of its ongoing $100m share buy-back programme arranged with Barclays Capital Securities. The shares will be cancelled, reducing the number of ordinary shares in issue to about 3.66 billion (of which 7.49 million are treasury shares) and total voting rights to 3.65 billion, further shrinking the free float after the company has bought a total of 41.36 million shares since the programme began, a move that tightens capital structure and may support earnings per share and shareholder value.
The most recent analyst rating on (GB:AAF) stock is a Hold with a £400.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Airtel Africa Plc stock, see the GB:AAF Stock Forecast page.

Airtel Africa’s strong earnings call performance and positive technical indicators are offset by financial risks related to high leverage and declining revenue.
