Balfour Beatty ( (GB:BBY) ) has shared an announcement.
Balfour Beatty has continued to execute its previously announced share buyback programme, repurchasing 75,000 ordinary shares on 10 February 2026 at a volume-weighted average price of 747.72 pence, with the shares to be held in treasury. Following this latest transaction, the company has now bought back a total of 1,874,039 shares under the programme, all held in treasury without voting rights, leaving 490,974,545 shares in issue and establishing the updated voting rights base for shareholders’ regulatory disclosures.
The purchases were conducted through Deutsche Bank’s Deutsche Numis arm across the London Stock Exchange, Chi-X and BATS, with only minor price variations between venues reflecting normal trading dynamics. By shrinking the free float and consolidating its share capital, Balfour Beatty is returning capital to investors and potentially enhancing earnings per share, while providing the market with clear transparency on its capital management and the current denominator for voting-rights calculations under FCA disclosure rules.
The most recent analyst rating on (GB:BBY) stock is a Hold with a £781.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Balfour Beatty stock, see the GB:BBY Stock Forecast page.
